Wrong Story

Life is a web of encounters. At every moment, these encounters transform us and are transformed by us, in an endless network of causes and effects. But what happens when an encounter is so intense that it provokes radical changes in our lives? How do we navigate these changes? To what extent are our decisions rational? And how do intuition and creativity help us find paths towards the ever-elusive stability?

The exhibition portrays the characters with an intimate focus, highlighting their thoughts, reflections, and states of mind. From the story to the painting, the fragmentation of the narrative reinforces the idea that the dialogue between languages provides a rich field for experimentation in the visual arts, while also emphasising, in line with the exhibition's theme, the notion that we have a fragmented access to reality, much like the characters in Wrong Story. What occurs between one scene and another in the exhibition's graphic short story is left to the observer's imagination. The bold colours in the paintings further support the idea that the events we select from reality, what we choose to see, are also the most vibrant.

The painting series Wrong Story is based on a fictional narrative about a woman who, driven at times by intuition and at times by reason, seeks to uncover the person responsible for an incident that radically changed her life. However, certainties are often fragile and built upon a precarious and incomplete understanding of reality.

Amid coincidences and fragments of reality that seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle, the protagonist of "Wrong Story" discovers much more than she had imagined when embarking on this quest.

To create the series of paintings "Wrong History" and the homonymous short story, numerous books were researched, exploring fascinating and recurring themes in the work: chance, antifragility, and the subliminal influence of decisions. These elements intertwine, revealing layers of meaning that permeate both the images and the narratives.
