ONIRIA

Bodies that merge with crystalline water. Woman belonging to the deep blue that keeps us suspended. Same depth that takes you to the deepest part of the oceans. Witches bathing in its essence.

"Mercedes Grassi King is an innovative artist, as she places herself both in front of and behind the lens, becoming at the same time a passive and active individual of the whole creative process. This choice recalls the determined will to embrace and show one's essence, one's existence characterized by chaos and order, by deep sensations and hidden thoughts. What is created are shots, artworks with a strong dark flavor, which bring to mind the immense and dark dream world. Courage and audacity come together to show the depths of one's abyss, full of tales and melancholy; an abyss left in darkness for a long time but which now, more than ever, feels the need to go out and shout to the whole world. The art of Mercedes Grassi King is a succession of changes of perspectives, which entice the viewer first to understand the profound soul of the artist, and then to lead a profound inner reflection on what is shown and on what, instead, often is left aside."
