My soul to God

My heart to Lorenzo

My wings to the universe

- María Isabel Solórzano Echeverry -

Concept

"About the boxed-dreams, they say ...

Inside her boxes, secrets, her beauty and sensitivity, her more inner desieres,

inviting the spectator to a communion with the artist, María Isabel.

There she is as she opens her body, her live, and her love in beauty,

in the poetry of object's, in esthetic definitions of her more intimate feelings."

J. C. U.

"Sorrounded by magical reflections, between mystical winged virgins

a flamming heart glitters brilliantly, the magical reflection of the

unexpected multicolor lights, hidden behind translucent mirrows and

polished surfaces of inexhaustible splendor reflect the soul

of the work, full of subconscious memories, of longing and

love dreams of elfs and fairies and celestial archangels."

Others Say

"María Isabel Solórzano: Analytical Neo-Pop light box installations. Using latin popular iconography through kitsch objects dreived from the non violence movement."

"Is another look , a different one of the war, in moments when desperation, aphaty and insensitivity seems to damage the present and future of our society ... Thanks for letting us enjoy this renovated message, up lifting and full of hope for art."

" ... Suddenly there appears a third option "packaged" inside television sets. This is the art coming from María Isabel Solórzano. Her "love and crazy" installations, full of techno-science dreams and symbols. A neo-pop-kitsch style giving entertainment to her work which is enriched with recycled elements, feathers, roses, butterflies, religious images, stones, textiles, glass, little figures, photographs, sand and confetti ... in her work there are always religious images, arms and some drops of blood (both of them in a symbolic way), light installations, the colors of the colombian flag , butterfly wings, mirrors to give a calidoscope effect... but always the intention to persuade the spectator to look beyond... to trascend the obvious... to refresh mind and soul ..."
