Venezuelan artist Roselin Estephanía’s watercolour work is a mix of pure fantasy and realism. With a graphic edge and illustrative precision, each piece renders the feminine form in mystical and luminous scenarios that are instilled with both optimism and danger in equal measure. In 'Pienso en tu mirá (I think of your look)' (2020), eyes appear to bud in roses that crown the female subject, but also fall across her shoulders. Gazing at the viewer with a raised hand – is she telling us a secret or pushing us away? Are we complicit, or being watched? There’s a level of uncertainty in the work that makes for an intriguing viewer experience. Eyes are blanked or carefully rendered, Estephanía masterfully harnesses the medium of watercolour to explore the space between the opacity and transparency.
