Each of the portraits painted by Ana Cubas, implemented a small piece of their architectural works (project or ideas that identify them).
Besides the works of Ana Cubas, will be screen the short film “Ana y Kazuyo”, by her sister Nuria, which shows the entire process of developing one of the main parts of exhibition: a portrait of the architect Kazuyo Sejima. A real dissection in which the three women are involved.
“I came to Ana in a strange dinner where I expected to meet several artists at the same time. [...] and was one of the most embellishing and relaxing nights I can remember. [...] Ana slide one of her slender paper cartons wrapped in Kraft paper. She organised it thoroughly in front of me. [...] They were better when you could touch the thickness perfectly chosen and could look closely the clean and dark mark. the respect with wich Ana treated the paper carton and dignified was a manifest of her perfectionist and committed personality.
From the agency, we proposed her the challenge to expand the format of her works so that the impact was much greater. She accepted and we began to develop together the concept and the thematic.
Some time ago, the artist wanted to approximate her work with the architecture. She thought about doing the same exercise with collage as in the previous works but, now, the analysis phase with the architects was more evident, offering meetings between the architect and the work.
The pieces made by the artist make us reflect about the lifestyles, ideology and emotion identification between creator and creation. It is the begining of a family that runs as profile pictures in a social network teaching, finite and tangible.
