Adriana Arronte

La Havana, 1980

My work is motivated by common objects and situations of everyday environment. I study each element in question, circumstances it promotes, its dynamics and natural scenery; all this determines the morphology of the work. In this process I exacerbate the nature of the object or symbol up to denature it. I raise again its function without induce it to another precise function; I am interested in extending to the maximum the field of readings. From an aesthetic operation I attempt to allude to macro-social, intimate, cultural phenomena...
