Under the partonage of HE Mr. Santiago Cabanas Ansorena, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain, and in the context of the 6th Edition of the Image Festival Amman, Nabad Art Gallery opens an exhibition of images by Spanish Photographer and Painter, Carlota Escribano.

The exhibition is being held in association with the Delegation of the European Union, EUNIC-Jordan, Instituto Cervantes in Amman, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain and the Jordanian-Spanish Friendship Society.

Born in Madrid in 1978, Carlota Escribano studied Fine Arts at Complutense University in Madrid from 2000 to 2005. She has held twelve solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous collective exhibitions and art fairs in England, Holland, Spain and Switzerland. She currently lives and works in Madrid as a photographer, artist and art teacher.

Carlota Escribano wrote about the exhibition:

“Dunes stem from the need to record my own time; the need to release my own unrepeatable experience as it consumes my life and fills it up. The Dunes speak about the distancing of those who learn from themselves. To stay in or to get out of the circle. To shift stylishly while you think about it. To wonder if one could think differently than one thinks and perceive differently than one sees in order to keep on watching and pondering. Presence confronting dematerialization. The distance which makes the familiar look strange. The paradox of being and not being at the same time. To be in and off-scene. There is a way of thinking about identity and about ephemeral nature; how to look inward, at the substance, seeking the answers. Topics of reflection in Dunes: Isolation. Links to other people. Identity. How the private becomes public. Attachment. Estrangement. Dislocation. How people get their bearings in such an ever changing world. The construction of memories. To displace people in a different ground from the lonesome world of urban life. My work is the result of a profound inquest of painting through dialogue with the image and occasionally writing. I sketch my paintings through the photographic lens. On the photographic image—or through it—I apply paint and other materials so as to distort or to extend concepts. Stories filled with truths and exaggerations. They are small samples of unfinished tales. I write and paint my time, gathering paintings, pictures and writings.”
