Something Of Everything In Everything
Elaine Roberto-Navas

MO_Space | Main Gallery
17 July – 29 August 2021


“The contemplative element of nature and its coalescence with art and memory, once again, find their enduring qualities in Elaine Roberto-Navas’ paintings. From traces of photographs to their manifestations on canvas, each image becomes a paean of philosophical musing that reveals the interconnectedness of things. The astute and intuitive transfer—of a symbolic reference and memorial such as a fleeting snapshot and into a mixture of colors and textures in Roberto-Navas’ corporeal paintings—embodies the old wisdom found in careful observations made by the ancients against things that were merely there: a brook, an assembly of leaves and twigs, and the sky’s reflection. These are the elements that correspond to the everything.”
