The language of light: we are color and form. Sandra Mazoy.

Sandra Mazoy is a Mexican artist based in Madrid. Her approach to art comes from when she was a child, when she wanted to express an idea or feeling through painting and sculpture.

He studied graphic design, then entered the National Institute of Fine Arts and finally concluded his studies with a Master’s Degree in Art and Philosophy.

For 20 years she taught morphology and color in graphic design and industrial design, an experience that was decisive in her relationship with form and color. The exhaustive analysis of these two concepts gave birth in her a passion for observing them and to ask herself endless questions where in each answer she finds a composition.

As for the use of color, she has always liked to experiment with it, without conditioning, as she considers that all colors can coexist harmoniously creating different effects and environments, revisiting the work of artists such as Josef Albers. She considers that both color and form are means of communication that provoke feelings, alluding to different concepts, some general and others specific. This is where the personal perception of the viewer comes into play.

Her style is abstract and geometric. For her the raw material is the idea, objectified through the canvas. Her compositions are, in a way, autobiographical, they speak of her experiences, “but above all of my way of being, in my work you can appreciate the presence of my logical thinking, since in one way or another a formal understanding is achieved”.

At present, Sandra Mazoy gives an account of her profound relationship with the art that today exposes her in her most delicate intimacy, but to have reached the visual maturity of her artistic expression, she explains that during the 20 years of teaching practice she specialized in the subject of color, where she studied theoretical points of view from psychology or physics, especially analyzing exhaustively the characteristics of color such as tone, saturation, light and contrast, in addition to the chromatic circle, understanding the primary, secondary and tertiary origin of color from experience.

Through the characteristics of morphology and color he finds all the elements to give voice and image to his ideas. Regarding form, he plays with composition, overlapping, size, depth or transparency; regarding color, he makes use of all its properties: tone, saturation, contrast, luminosity or darkness among others.
