Spanish Version
Catalina Orozco De la Torre “Catalina Orart” ha desarrollado un estilo propio, en una búsqueda constante de la Luz, para poderla reflejar en quien la contempla.
Esa búsqueda artística persigue que los cuadros emanen luz propia, incluso dejando muchas veces el reflejo del blanco del lienzo. Con acabados estilo “esfumato” que hace que la pincelada se desvanezca en el lienzo. Un estilo que siempre está fluctuando entre la composición del arte abstracto y el detalle del arte figurativo. Una obra que transmite a aquellos que la observan un diálogo etéreo.
En el año 2019, obtuvo el primer premio, Premio Tritoma a la Gestión Cultural en el “86 Salón de Otoño 2019” organizada por la Asociación Española de Pintores y Escultores, siendo uno de los cértamenes de más prestigio y más antiguos de España.

English Version
Catalina Orozco De la Torre «Catalina Orart» has developed her style, in a constant search for the light, to be able to reflect it in those who contemplate it.
This artistic work explores the idea that the paintings emanate their own light, even when leaving the reflection of the raw white of the canvas. Catalina finished all the work with the sfumato technique, in which the brush-stroke fades on the canvas. A style in constant fluctuation between the composition of abstract art and the detail of figurative art. A work that transmits an ethereal dialogue to those who observe it.
Catalina Orart won our hearts with one of her works at the 86th Autumn Salon of 2019, when she won the «Tritoma Cultural Management Award», presenting a suggestive and creative motivation in which the urban landscape is the protagonist.
It is a reflection of landscaping in a composition exercise in which both the drawing and the atmosphere create contrasts and metaphors in a completely magical and evocative atmosphere.
The evanescent environment that permeates everything, achieves an impact in which the half-outlined motifs acquire essential prominence and at the same time blur, like a true mirage in which light is the magic of the work and the strength of the panoramic view.
It is the delicate form and the detail that make his works an exquisite representation of the inhospitable toxicity of the city, transforming it into a soft landscape in which it seems that even the asphalt is wrapped in a delicate and evocative transparency, where subtlety damper the sad and monochromatic smut of the city.
The power of the image thus transfigured becomes a striking claim for a refreshing visual change, in which the taste for delicacy hits the mark with the framing, presents the right play of light and shadow, and the perspective achieves the ultimate forms in which the colors draw landscapes of fragile figurations.
The blurred atmosphere of magical landscapes envelops everything, shapes, filters and changes it in works full of suggestions and evocations that are barely glimpsed and allow the imagination to complete them to discover them and subtly fall in love with them.
