Inner landscapes
INNER LANDSCAPES
Saying Vall Palou is a landscape painter might seem quite uncertain, but if we do referring to internal character landscapes, our claim would be a bit more understandable and perhaps more justified if we establish the clear parallel between the inside and the outside, between the physical landscape and the mental landscape between nature, as landscape and man as one of its most significant manifestations.
In this sense, it is not difficult to see that Vall Palou manifests through her painting with such spontaneity, strength and vitality, like any wild creature of this natural landscape, to survive in its social environment through a particular instinct, as the animal, gives meaning to existence and makes it especially beautiful because it is artistically attractive, but mainly because it is sincere and genuine.
It is only necessary to observe the convinced look when she looks us while paints and her gaze focused when looks what she is painting, to understand that at this time a special energetic circuit is established that parts from of her driving brain to reach the fabric through her executing hand, translating these mental orders to plastical images that are essentially her feelings, moods or those interior landscapes that can also be ours, if we share naturally or we are able to enter intellectually or emotionally following the translator sensitive notes, like they were a pictures book .
Vall Palou, born as woman in Lleida in 1951 and as a woman painter, in 1995, in her first exhibition certifies with the progress made so far, the artist who was sleeping inside since childhood, who has already attracted all that plastical childhood dream turning into a mature pictorial reality that now makes us dream, stimulating the imagination of the artist who still sleeps inside us
