Semi-automatic 

Between the spontaneous and the conscious

In her artistic journey, the artist has implemented a technique that emerged from experimenting with coffee stains, leading to the creation of works through a semi-automatic process.

In her work, she seeks to reach philosophical content related to the  human essence, but the approach is different. Instead of using reflection as the driving force of this process, it is paused, and automatism guides the artistic creation. Therefore, it gives space to what has not been consciously observed and what is recorded in the unconscious. With this process, stories are manifested  directly from  random stains, lines, and brush strokes on the canvas. In the semi-automatic process, the result is not guided by established measurements or composition rules, but by what the forms inspire at that moment. These figures, symbols, and meanings are distinct and develop diversely depending on my emotional state, circumstances, and the energies of my environment.

By its nature, this process is free and allows for introspection. Once the first strokes have been made automatically, the reflection process begins, interpreting and endowing those stains or lines with structured meaning. This is the process through which artistic and material form is given to a deep and intangible reality.

Paintings

Her paintings start from a deliberate reflection and study of a feeling, belief, dream, story, or experience that she have lived or observed. From that feeling, the artist focus and extract some relevant detail that may go unnoticed or that can be collectively identified. Subsequently, she seeks and reflects on which symbols and composition could best communicate the message, sometimes this is in the form of sketches or writings. Eileen materializes these details and philosophical and human reflections through her works. All of this aims to encourage us to pay attention to these details that help us connect with our inner selves, bringing them into the physical realm, generating a process of assimilation first within the artist with the creation itself and then in the viewer who contemplates the work.
