<p>English:</p>
<p>I always make a link between my Art and my Spirit in a psychological way. My life is like a running ball always trying to avoid chaos. This is a manipulated digital drawing turned into a mixed media painting made in 2010. I got inspired to make this painting when I visited a very small town called Tapalpa, Jalisco where I saw some balls hanging from a ceiling. The weather was very cold and I was at a very important change in my life at that moment. I used acrylics, pastels and inks on canvas. Check my Geometric artwork at <a href="http://www.absolutearts.com/blancaruthcasanova">www.absolutearts.com/blancaruthcasanova</a> and facebook.com at Art-Explained/Arte Explicado or facebook.com at Blanca Ruth Casanova.If you are interested in making a donation to support this blog, you can do it by Paypal at <a href="mailto:arte_mexico@hotmail.com">arte_mexico@hotmail.com</a></p>
<p> Spanish:</p>
<p>Siempre tengo una unión psicológica entre mi arte y mi espíritu. Mi vida es como una pelota que rueda y rueda tratando de evitar caer en el caos. Esta obra comenzó como una omagen digital manipulada que convertí en una pintura en técnicas mixtas que realicé en 2010. Me inspiré para hacer esta pintura cuando fui de vista a un pueblito del Estado de Jalisco que se llama Tapalpa, donde vi unas bolas colgando de un techo. Hacía mucho frío y estaba en un momento de muchos cambios en mi vida. Lo hice con acrílicos, pasteles y tintas sobre lienzo. Ve mi obra geométrica en <a href="http://www.absolutearts.com/blancaruthcasanova">www.absolutearts.com/blancaruthcasanova</a> y en facebook.com en Art-Explained/Arte Explicado y en facebook.com en Blanca Ruth Casanova </p>

<p>SCARS.</p>
<p>This painting won an Honour Mention at the 5th Competition of the Arts Magazine in London, England.</p>
<p>The prize I won was to be included in the International exhibition in Berlin, Germany in January 2007.</p>
<p>This painting was stolen from a gallery in Denver, Colorado, USA. And was recovered two years later.</p>
<p>It is an abstract woman lying down on her side looking back on how life has been during dificult sad times and watching her emotional scars already closed.</p>
<p>This painting belongs to the “Ruptures” series where I play and experiment with rough and soft textures, torn fabrics and drippings.</p>
<p>It is an acrylic, enamel, fabric, sylicone, marble powder and textures on canvas with a classic composition.</p>
<p>On the right side in the middle of the painting, there is a scar used also as a symbol of the name of the painting.</p>
<p>CICATRICES.</p>
<p>Este cuadro ganó Mención Honorífica en el 5° Concurso de Arte de Arts Magazine en Londres, Inglaterra. El premio que se me otorgó fue ser incluída en la Exposición Internacional en Berlín, Alemania en enero de 2007.</p>
<p>Esta obra fue robada de una galería en Denver, Colorado en los Estados Unidos y recuperada dos años después.</p>
<p>Es una mujer casi abstracta recostada de lado meditando en su pasado y viendo su vida en retrospectiva durante tiempos difíciles y tristes, observando de lejos sus cicatrices emocionales ya cerradas.</p>
<p>Esta obra pertenece también a la Serie “Rupturas” donde juego y experimento con las texturas suaves y rugosas, los textiles rotos y los chorreados.</p>
<p>Es un acrílico, esmalte, textiles, silicón, polvo de mármol y texturas sobre lienzo con una composición clásica.</p>
<p>Del lado derecho en medio hay representada una cicatriz como símbolo también del nombre del cuadro.</p>

<p>COMING OUT FROM DARKNESS.</p>
<p>This is one of the winner paintings of the “Premio della Critica” by the gallerists and art critic at the Estense Castle in Ferrara, Italy. It is an acrylic with enamels, fabric, sylicone and textures on canvas.</p>
<p>This painting is a representation of the various steps the one has to go through in order to come out from periods od darkness to the Light.</p>
<p>It belongs to the Series “Ruptures”, meaning the pychological rupture with the past. The characteristic of this series is the use of torn textiles as a symbol to show both, the physical and emotional ruptures. It has a classic composition in red brick tones symbolising the debris of Darkness and the golden paint marks the moments of Light.</p>
<p>There is a broken square in the middle representing that even in the periods of great luminosity, Darkness may interfere when you do not expect it, but the objective is always to look for the Light.</p>

<p>SALIENDO DE LA OSCURIDAD.</p>
<p>Este cuadro es otro de los ganadores del “Premio della Critica” otorgado por los galeristas y críticos de arte en el Castillo Estense, en Ferrara, Italia. Es un acrílico con esmaltes, textiles, silicón y texturas sobre lienzo.</p>
<p>Significa los diversos pasos por los que uno tiene que pasar para salir de periodos de obscuridad hacia la Luz.</p>
<p>Esta obra pertenece a la Serie “Rupturas” que significa la ruptura psicológica con el pasado. Esta serie se caracteriza por el uso de textiles rotos como manta de cielo como símbolo para demostrar tanto las rupturas físicas como emocionales. Tiene una composición clásica en tonos ladrillo, simbolizando las construcciones deterioradas de la Oscuridad, y el dorado marcando los momentos de Luz.</p>
<p>Tiene un cuadrado roto en el centro que demuestra que hasta en los períodos de máxima Luz puede entrar la Oscuridad por donde menos te imaginas, pero el objetivo es siempre buscar la luz.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --><strong>Blogs Art Explained</strong></p>
<p>Today, I am introducing some of my paintings that have won international awards.</p>
<p>Ahora les voy a presentar algunos de mis cuadros que han ganado premios internacionales.</p>
<p><a href="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/SolyMar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-43" title="Sol y Mar" src="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/SolyMar-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="201" /></a></p>
<p>SUN AND SEA.</p>
<p>This is one of the awarded paintings which won the “Premio della Critica” given by the gallerists and art critic at the Estense Castle in Ferrara, Italy. Lucrecia Borgia lived in this castle.</p>
<p>This painting is made with acrylics, enamels, textiles and textures on canvas in primary colors mainly yellow.</p>
<p>This is the representation of Hapiness when I feel relaxed and unstressed close to the sea. It is a representation of how I play with primary colors and forms. When vacationing in the Balearic Islands of Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea,  it seems daylight in the middle of the night. People is out there partying as if it was midday, and I am in the middle of that joy without knowing if it is night or day, meeting new people, things and unusual and strange habits, enjoying the different landscapes.</p>
<p>The red tones, specially the red textile threads mean the blood flowing through my veins making me feel alive. The yellows are the different tones of the sun and the blue tones mean the sea. There are rough and soft textures showing the differences between my own roots and all these new things I am living. On the inferior right side, there is a texture which gives the idea of prints made by fingers trying to grasp the nice things in order to forget the pain.</p>
<p>SOL Y MAR.</p>
<p>Este cuadro fue uno de los ganadores del “Premio della Critica” otorgado por los galeristas y críticos de arte en el Castillo Estense, donde vivió Lucrecia Borgia, en Ferrara, Italia.</p>
<p>Es un acrílico con esmaltes, textiles y texturas sobre lienzo realizado en coores primarios, principalmente amarillo.</p>
<p>Esta es la representación de la alegría que se siente estando relajada y desestrezada cerca del mar. Es un juego de colores primarios y formas.</p>
<p>Estando vacacionando en las Islas Baleares de Ibiza y Palma de Mallorca en el Mar Mediterráneo, en medio de la noche parece de día. La gente está en el exterior como si fueran las 12 del día, platicando festejando y yo en medio de esa algarabía, sin saber si es de día o de noche, conociendo cosas y costumbres nuevas y raras, disfrutando de los paisajes.</p>
<p>Los colores rojos, en especial los textiles de hilos rojos significan mi sangre corriendo por las venas haciéndome sentir viva. Los tonos amarillos son los diferentes colores del sol y los azules son el mar.</p>
<p>Hay texturas asperas y suaves, mostrando las diferencias de costumbres entre mis raíces y ésto nuevo que estoy viviendo. En el lado inferior derecho, hay una textura que asemejan huellas hechas por dedos tratando de aferrarse a lo agradable para no volver al dolor.</p>

<p>ENGLISH:</p>
<p>Hi, everyone.</p>
<p>As some of my friends, family members and gallerists have asked me to  do so, I decided to let everybody know about the hidden meaning of some  of my paintings.</p>
<p>By doing this, you will enjoy with me how I do my paintings and what I  want to express with each one of them.</p>
<p>I have got ten awards by now, and this has made some people to get  interested in my work, which I appreciate a lot!!!</p>
<p>I was given the Special Award from the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts at the Louvre Museum Salon last december in Paris, France.</p>
<p>I will be posting different paintings. So, keep in touch!!!</p>
<p>Now I am presenting to you my painting called &#8220;CAVE&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Cave1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35" title="Cave" src="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Cave1-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;CAVE&#8221; is an acrilic, enamel, marble powder, sand fabric and textures on canvas in mettalic tones.</p>
<p>We all need a spiritual personal inner space or otside, where we open our mind and make reflections about ourselves, at the same time that we have to be in the real world and at daylight.</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>ESPAÑOL:</p>
<p>Hola a Todos,</p>
<p>Como algunos de mis amigos, miembros de mi familia y galeristas me lo  han pedido, he decidido darles a conocer el significado de mis  pinturas.</p>
<p>Así ustedes van a disfrutar conmigo cómo hago mis cuadros y qué es lo  que quiero decir al hacerlos.</p>
<p>Me han otorgado diez premios hasta el momento, y ésto ha hecho que  mucha gente se interese por mi obra, lo cual agradezco mucho!!!</p>
<p>En diciembre pasado, me otorgaron el Premio Especial de la Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts en el Salón del Museo del Louvre en Paris, Francia.</p>
<p>Voy a estar poniendo aquí diferentes pinturas. ¡Así que manténganse  en contacto!!!</p>
<p>Ahora les voy a presentar mi pintura llamada &#8220;CUEVA&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;CUEVA&#8221; está realizado en acrílico, esmalte, polvo de marmol, arena, textiles y texturas sobre lienzo en tonos metálicos.</p>
<p>Todos necesitamos un espacio espiritual personal abierto o interior, donde abrimos nuestra mente y reflexionamos sobre nosotros mismos, al mismo tiempo que tenemos que estar en el mundo real y a la luz del día.</p>

<p>Hi, everyone.</p>
<p>As some of my friends, family members and gallerists have asked me to do so, I decided to let everybody know about the hidden meaning of some of my paintings.</p>
<p>By doing this, you will enjoy with me how I do my paintings and what I want to express with each one of them.</p>
<p>I have got ten awards by now, and this has made some people to get interested in my work, which I appreciate a lot!!!</p>
<p>I will be posting different paintings. So, keep in touch!!!</p>
<p><a href="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MujerMayaWeb3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24" title="MujerMaya" src="http://art-explained.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MujerMayaWeb3-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Today, I will show you &#8220;MAYAN WOMAN&#8221;, an acrylic, enamel, rope, plastic and fabric with textures on canvas, which is an abstract autoportrait. It is made in the cinabrium red color of the Mayan pyramids, referring to my father´s Mayan ancestors.  It is a classic composition with an upside-down female triangle representing me in the middle of a world of men. There are three circles linked to me meaning my children, one abroad, one next to me and the dead one always in my mind. In the center, there is an eye always on alert. The free doodles in black are a kind of physical unique gestual signature. Each of the rectangles express a stage in my life where there have been sorrows, happy moments, ups and downs.</p>

<p>ESPAÑOL:</p>
<p>Hola a Todos,</p>
<p>Como algunos de mis amigos, miembros de mi familia y galeristas me lo han pedido, he decidido darles a conocer el significado de mis pinturas.</p>
<p>Así ustedes van a disfrutar conmigo cómo hago mis cuadros y qué es lo que quiero decir al hacerlos.</p>
<p>Me han otorgado diez premios hasta el momento, y ésto ha hecho que mucha gente se interese por mi obra, lo cual agradezco mucho!!!</p>
<p>Voy a estar poniendo aquí diferentes pinturas. ¡Así que manténganse en contacto!!!</p>
<p>Hoy les estoy mostrando &#8220;MUJER MAYA&#8221;, acílico, esmalte, cuerda, plástico y textiles con texturas sobre lienzo, que es un autoretrato abstracto. Esta realizado con el color rojo  del cinabrio con que se cubrían las antiguas pirámides pre-hispánicas mayas, refiriéndome a los ancestros mayas de mi padre. Es una composición clásica, con un triángulo invertido que me representa en medio de un mundo regido por hombres. Hay tres círculos unidos a mí que representan a mis hijos, uno lejos, otro unido a mí y el fallecido que siempre está en mi mente. En el centro se puede apreciar un ojo que está siempre alerta. Los garabatos libres en negro son como una firma gestual única. Cada uno de los rectángulos expresa una etapa de mi vida en que ha habido penas, momentos felices, altas y bajas.</p>
<p>¡Espero les guste!</p>
