In Fragments of Me, Marisol Pesquera brings together photography and painting through a sustained engagement with geometric abstraction as a way of structuring her inner experience. The paintings do not mark a departure from her photographic practice, but an extension of her inner self.

 

In her photographic images, fragments, repetition, and spatial tension appear through architecture, form, light, and shadow. These elements are not constructed as a system, but recognized as part of perception. Geometry, in this sense, is not imposed; it is discovered. It emerges as an underlying structure within the artist’s energetic inner world—a breakthrough from her inner experience that becomes visible through her fragmented images.

​

This breakthrough arises from a tension between control and unpredictability. Emotional experience rarely unfolds in a linear or stable way. Through geometric abstraction, the artist creates a space shaped by decision, where edges, proportions, and repetition introduce a sense of order. These structures do not resolve uncertainty, but offer a way of holding it. Form becomes a method of regaining balance within what cannot be fully controlled.

​

The paintings extend this inquiry. Through geometric abstraction and the use of primary colors, Pesquera constructs compositions based on measured divisions and relationships of balance and tension. Color is not used descriptively; it functions as part of the structure itself.

 

These works suggest an internal organization, echoing the body's quiet, sometimes fragmented architecture and its rhythms of perception. Rather than translating the human figure into abstraction, the work reveals abstraction as something already present within lived experience.

If the photographic images approach fragmentation through light and movement, the paintings respond through form. Each composition becomes a space where fragmentation is contained, measured, and held.

​

Fragments of Me invites a way of looking inward, where form and color offer a way of holding what cannot be fully controlled.
