"My interest in the textures and materials of papers was aroused by their resemblance to human bodies, particularly through my medical studies as a midwife. This passion for life is the driving force behind my art, which for me is a natural continuation of this interest. "
Mélinda Infantes
Melinda Infantes likes to explore different textures and materials, such as clay, ropes and threads, which remind her of vascularity or even different types of skin. At the moment, she mostly uses amate or Japanese paper, chosen for its unique texture obtained from bark. Through this material, she inscribe signs of life and imprints that tell a story and guide her in her creative process.
