Artworks by Otilia Cadar
Diary Windows is a reflexive visual journal. It’s a way of introspection and discovery rising from the need to uncover the hidden world of my inner self. The study of this work started with two questions: Does this diary helps in any way to denounce ourselves and excavate our deep inner self? How sincerely and accurately could a vision or a memory be reproduced?
The pages of the diary are the actual paintings, the canvas, expressing my feelings, my moods and reaction to happenings, before and during the work on this project. I transfer all these through various colours, characters and symbolic objects, giving birth to an inside monologue illustrated in relation to my environment.
The project contains 7 paintings, a sequence of my prominent moods and feelings. These moods create only a sketch of the diary, being completed through it. They are but fractions of ideas that make an impression and then haunt me. I see them as either singular or repeating pictures, imaginary or real.
I use colours with a powerful symbolism, unveiling my inner state. Throughout the project’s works one will find elements and symbols that keep repeating, helping to understand the substance and “story” behind each work.
