"The necessity to make art comes from a desire to connect beyond oneself, it's not art alone that reminds us of what it means to be human, it's artists who take us away, and then bring us home."
Embark on a transformative journey into the realm of visual storytelling with Theresa Soares's inaugural monograph, a testament to the culmination of an emergent aesthetic awakening and eminent artistic exploration across mediums.
Anchored in a profound commitment to unearthing the visual imperative, this monograph is a celebration of lens-based mastery and socio-cultural inquiry. Guided by an unwavering passion for revealing the intricate connections between constructed narratives and the authentic essence of lived experiences, Soares delves into the layered tapestry of sociopolitical and interpersonal dialogues, weaving together intimately reflective compositions that reverberate throughout our lives.
Through the power of impactful visual narratives, this monograph effortlessly bridges the realms of artistic expression and social consciousness, creating an embodied resonance that beckons reflection and catalyzes new perspectives.
With a process steeped in depth and intentionality, each narrative unfolds through an intricate interplay of personal narratives, ethnographic observations, and captivating inquiries. Seamlessly weaving threads of human experience, Soares intuitively crafts a visual language that is as compelling as it is evocative—a language that challenges conventions of structure, form, and emotion.
This monograph serves as a testament to the artist's diverse expertise, encapsulating a range of artistic styles, from the timeless elegance of fine art documentary photography to the contemporary dynamism of integrated new media art. Rooted in abstract constructivism and the ethereal brushstrokes of impressionism, the result is a collection that defies categorization, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a sensory experience that transcends both convention and boundary.
As a tribute to the beginning years of a life that will be devoted to the craft, this monograph stands as an enduring reflection of the artist's unrelenting pursuit of excellence and devotion to creative exploration. In her own words, "The necessity to make art comes from a desire to connect beyond oneself, it's not art alone that reminds us of what it means to be human, it's artists who take us away, and then bring us home."
