FABIANA MARTINEZ AND THE TIMELESS TIME “The timeless time…” is the place where Fabiana Martínez has entered with her paintings, following the trace of aborigin cultures. This young artist from the Province of Salta, North of Argentina, where the Chané (indian group that belongs to the tupi-guaraní family) has spread out there residence, is posing through his art a cosmovisión inspired in masks created by said culture and their poetic view of life. Nevertheless, Fabiana, ia an artist from the XXI century, who, with a great freedom of spirit, could combine the experience of abstract and expressionist chané painting. It is especially notorius in her arts, the strengh of color in her paintings, a style which can qualify such imago-mundi. Titles of her paintings focus the poetic dimension expressed: “Life is alive in tímeles time”, “Ñandereté coñai… our true time”, Spirit heaves in timeless time”, “Between heaven and earth”, “El areré, the Sun… Faith”, “The tree that becomes mask”… The concept of time, is predominant, potentially keeping its motion, in static and iconic image of Fabiana Martinez paitings. That’s the reason for “tímeless time”.
