At the age of 42, Filipa Sáragga d’Orey presents her first international exhibition, where geometry, colour and memory shape a visual universe of remarkable poetic strength and a distinctive artistic language.
A collection of around twenty paintings, ranging from intimate to large-scale formats, portraying childhood as a place of innocence, family as a landscape, and motherhood through geometric backgrounds and figurative symbols that provide each work with an emotional structure. Colour takes centre stage, becoming rhythm, language and expression. The collection brings together technical research, artistic maturity and a visual language developed by the artist over recent years.
Filipa transforms motherhood into an emotional and pictorial architecture, built through geometry, colour and symbols inspired by her three daughters, creating a dialogue between geometric abstraction and narrative figuration.
The geometry of “Three Daughters” originates from a family rug where her daughters took their first steps and spent countless hours playing. Transformed into the narrative thread running throughout the collection, it symbolises the desire to extend to the world a space of protection, love and refuge for childhood.
“Three Daughters marks a very special moment in my artistic journey. For the first time, I feel that a single collection brings together everything I am today: a woman, a mother, an artist, a writer, a dreamer, and someone who deeply believes in beauty as a source of hope.
It is perhaps the most personal collection I have created to date. It has also been my most technically demanding and the one in which I have experienced the greatest emotional and spiritual maturity. Motherhood has ceased to be merely a subject; it has become the invisible structure that supports everything I create. I now realise that what I paint is the way love transforms a place.”
