Susana Botana’s work arises from the need to touch matter, to build through porosity.

That same latent porosity in the material, which is reaffirmed by geology and the natural accidents that compose the materials. With each of her works, she poses a spatial problem that she tries to solve with the help of the material, according to its characteristics or properties, building a dialogue through textures that enrich with their narrative function, their primary meaning, and their condition as a form that occupies a space.

Her artistic gaze is constructed by schematizing lines with an evident evolution from naturalism towards abstraction. The purification of planes and lines, the value of the imposing mass over detail, and the clarity offered by her compositions are an aesthetic trait in many of her works. These are inspired by a primitivism that tries to hide itself through the evocation of the timeless features of Greek models, an appearance of dignity intimately related to volume and void.
