Parisicilia
Angels Sicilia, "Parisicilia". Born 1971 in Barcelona / Spain. Autodidact. From 1995 to 2000 she lived in Paris, where she worked and followed her artistic movement. She had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with artists like Guillermo Arizta, Antonio Saura, Roland Topor, among others. She exhibits in Paris, Munich, Brussels, and Berlin. Parallel to her work as a painter she writes and has published several cycles of poetry (“Ahoras”, Editions El Drago, Madrid 2019). She has illustrated an array of books, such as “Del Cuerpo y La Noche Insular” Madrid 2021, "Las Inconstantes" Madrid 2023 Editions Hurón Azul, "El Desafio de la Paz", Universidad Carlos III Madrid 2023). Her extensive artistic oeuvre consists of sculptures, collages, linocuts, inks, and oil paintings. She lives and works near Munich in the castle of Schwindegg where she follows the same free line, "the one that shows you where you will have gone" (Ahoras 2012).
Linocuts
Linocuts - much the same as pianists, as long as they have got all their marbles - use both hemispheres of the brain, like a diverse mirror of white and black.
Collages
„We’ll see,“ says the blind man, „my dog's eyes!“
Brocken Glasses Montypes (Bintjes)
A museum of men and prints, it is the romantic history of bistros in Paris, which takes its rise from the stories which wake the dead and for which the living die. Premonitory dreams of the sculptures that I have been making since 2006 to the present day
Sculptures
The “Broken Glasses” series developed from stories that found their first expression in drawings, inks, and prints from 2001 onwards. The latter technique was first used by Parisicilia in 2002 using mainly potatoes and carrots, partly anecdotally due to the growing up of her two sons, for whom vegetable purees were cooked daily. She carved various motifs, particularly in potatoes, which later resulted in lively interactions between the color and farina on the paper. The decomposing structure of the die foot made it possible to record the metamorphoses of various motifs in various cycles. Romantic stories about wine and its spirit were often evoked, whereby the depicted subject became more and more real, so concrete that one evening a freshly broken glass - another tribute to everyday life - let appear, at the moment when it should have been „disposed of”, its next, ideal form. It was spared the trip to the Orcus: the moment of rebirth of all “broken glasses”, of which to this day almost 200 have taken new, distinctive shapes and in which the stories of transience live on.
Oil Paintings
A picture is a mirror of the times with a particular expressive value:
Hint, that the recognition of the self does not occur through the mediation of what is known.
Its value therefore is not determined by anticipation of an event in any future, since the identification with a hermetically closed, technologically deformed, secular world will in any case produce "aliens", that we actually are.
