If Mercedes Larreta\u2019s genealogy as an artist were to be written according to the model Marcus Aurelius provides in Book I of his Meditations<\/i>, it might begin with a strict chronology of her teachers and what she got from each one of them: from Eduardo Audivert (1990), the magic of watercolor and acceptance of the independent will of the drop and its pigment; from Guillermo Roux (2005), the soft fate of oil paint; from Norberto Marcet (2009), representation of the human figure and the reflex to capture the fleeting in its fleetingness; from Lima-native Eulogio de Jes\u00fas (2016), the freedom that comes from a honest critique of one\u2019s own work.<\/p>\n

Mercedes Larreta comes from a family of artists; she herself has, for years, divided her interest between painting and poetry.<\/p>\n

Mercedes Larreta\u2019s art, which never ever looks away from trees and rivers, begins with the joyous uncertainty of the line, with its unlikely outburst to then, pursuant to a maturation process that seems utterly effortless, deliver us back to drawing, no longer as contingency but as necessity. Wisely closed in on itself, each work offers us a chance to contemplate an open horizon.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
