i love her work!!!
sara diciero is an amazing amazing argentinian artist.
it's incredible, all the textures she creates, like the painting is alive! every piece is like a trip, like getting lost, like you don't have enough eyes to catch every detail, una caricia para el alma.
sara diciero, bravo!

What I liked best about this piece was my inital confusion when I received in my inbox. I wasn't sure if it was a photograph of a geologic site, a sculture, or something else entire. When I found out it was a painting, I thought of it differently. It's intruging.

Perhaps, this isn't a reaction that would happen if it were viewed "in real life," off-line. Then, it'd be clear it's a painting.

What works is the various textures, the the rock-like form. I also like how the piece has a limited pallet. I feel that some painters try to go for it all in every painting. This one seems to have its own aims, objectives.

The marks that bother me slightly are the white ones in the bottom left corner. In contrast to the rest of the painting these look like marks and not as the rock subject matter. They don't seem to serve the dual function that is going on in other places.

Anyway, lovely work Sara. Glad to have people from different countries sharing their work here.
