La Pintura
individual de Iluminada García-Torres
texto de Miguel
Fernández-Cid (1990)
ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES
(Elche 1949). Ella realiza una exposición en la
Galería Albatros de Madrid. Unas de sus
obras, tienen de motivo la escultura de mármol de
Ariadne (Hilo intangible). "Iba al Museo del Prado pensando en una
imagen que motivara mi mente y encontré esta escultura. Allí pinté la escultura
en un lienzo frente a esta y después en otro lienzo la pinté como si la escultura estuviera mirando al infinito... y sé que volveré a interpretar a
esta Ariadne, porque me
resulta imposible olvidar su
perfección, su armonía, su control matemático".
Las pinturas de la
escultura de Ariadne las realiza desde una interpretación, con el mar y un
paisaje diluido. "Nací cerca del mar y, aunque a los dieciséis años vine a
Madrid, a estudiar Bellas Artes, su presencia la tengo siempre cerca. Lo sé por
la necesidad de incluir una
línea del horizonte, una referencia al espacio en cada pintura".
El estilo de su pintura queda más patente en las obras
en las que ella, ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES, con la idea y los elementos mínimos de una
composición, deriva hacia fórmulas arquitectónicas. Morandi, la pintura
metafísica de Giorgio de Chirico y los quattrocentistas no están lejos de su
pintura. Con unas barras cilíndricas y una caja sobre una mesa ella pinta
geometrías nítidas, pinturas de espacialidad. Vistos desde otra perspectiva,
los mismos elementos semejan un laberinto, con una idea geométrica que evoca
constantemente su pintura, "un objeto es distinto según cómo lo vemos, la
cercanía de otro objeto lo modifica en nuestra percepción"¿Cómo no
entender que la pintura de ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES es individual?.

The expansion of the painting in the cold auras
text by Simón Marchán Fiz
ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES (EICHE 1949), she unravels Ariadne's Thread through an optical combinatorial impregnated by cybernetic randomness, a code expressed in lines that contrast with the unchanging presence of squares as zero grade and reference to the essentials, a great lyricism, color vibrations and harmony of balance complement each other.

GEOMETRIC POETRY and EMOTIONAL ARITHMETICS
text by José Manuel Alvarez Enjuto (2002)
text by José Manuel Alvarez Enjuto (2002)
It is not easy to respond to the arithmetic and orthogonal processes, of the poetry and sensitivity in the compositional contents in the work of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (ELCHE1949). She makes in Geometric Art an expressive formulation centered almost specifically on the research of spatial ordering through the serial multiplication of the line in progression. In the relation and the consecutive evolution with the only trace of a mediatic line in the space, or what is the same, through the drawing of a line, she manages to reach the metaphysical purpose of the creative eagerness.
The arithmetic and emotional poetry in the work of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES has that consubstantial truth that responds to a pristine and essential fact endowed with a metaphysical transcendence capable of altering any philosophical conjecture. Art transcending through arithmetic formulas and rhythmic spatial sequences that she describes.
Iconography where the continuous module, the coherent mathematical variation dominates the visuality, demands, at least, a reflection on the mathematical painting and the balanced spatial orders. And this inevitably leads us to the stream of Stilj, Mondrian, Rietveld authors who understood that in geometry and spatial arrangement by means of balanced flat chromatic or compositional icons, rational orders could be established in the argumentation of their proposals.

Processes in the elaboration of those gestural lines support of the works. A fact of transcendence if we understand theGeometric Art of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES from her creativity, with the congregation of all these expressive singularities that she has in geometric poetry.
Certainly the iconography transcribed in the paintings of the artist ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES may correspond to the genuine calligraphic material of the geometric repertoire of the square reticular and the music of arithmetic in their interactions.
Composition based on the repetitive modular beauty of the line and the quadrangular geometric grid, capable of claiming expansion, limitlessness and affirmation once the gestures drawn from the mathematical variable are the agents of the resulting harmonies, We have understand a very special expressiveness in the works of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES that she gives in the accuracy of the brushstroke in the discursive process of a meditative calligraphic order.

PIXELS (2003) ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (ELCHE 1949), she
in this
exhibition presents her work of Digital Geometric Art, El Hilo de Ariadna - Combinatoria, a
research with new technological media. The result is innovative, rigorous and
coherent that we can observe in the evolution of hers work, whose genesis is in
the pictorial work of hers teacher Antonio López García and from which her
assimilated the measure and direct-gesture.
In the observation of the sublime marble sculpture of Ariadna that she
discovered in the Prado Museum (1984), ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES tries to armonize he creative Thread to get herself the labyrinth of her artistic capacity.
Geometry in the plane and in the space that in something would
assimilate of the teachings that she received from the also Alicante artist,
Eusebio Sempere.
The lines drawn, made in a dynamic way, of a single gesture, in relation of
proportionality with space reticular, mathematics and geometry, time and light.
And the origin of Trazado Espacial Continuo Continuous Spatial Drawings has been for more than a
decade in the geometry of hers work Combinables.
That is why in the artworks of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES we contemplate geometries that can be multiplied infinitely thanks to the combinatorial of color and digital processes, which are possible by linking their Geometry research with the new technological advances of science computer.

She draws, from the point, original singular gestural lines in the space, in rhythmic sequences, that in this work of Digital Geometric
Art, the pixels constituting of the new structure of the line.
This exhibition, belonging to the hundred works of geometry (digital
printing on canvas 90x180cm each) which constitute the Amerigo Collection, can
be seen in Alicante at the Hotel of the same name, where the geometries
designed by ILUMINADA
GARCIA-TORRES will show us a world of harmonies fused with the
Mediterranean light, where the azure and marine blue, the earth and solar
ocher, and the violet tones of an alborear of the horizon prevail, which is the
line from which all forms emerge.

SOUNDS OF PAINTING Música y Arte II
Texts by Laura Sanz García (2004),
Pascual Patuel Chust (2004)
IILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES, (Elche, Alicante, 1949) she has made a decided commitment to Geometric Art, developing orthogonally organized shapes and colors. Following paths opened by the geometric Kandinsky of the German Bauhaus, author of POINT AND LINE ON THE PLANO, and Dutch Neoplasticism, ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES
understands her painting and her sculpture as a mathematical system of proportions and geometric shapes.
ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES achieves to formulate, in 1991, a basic module of squares, where she drew the points and lines. This module will be the beginning of future experimentation in Geometric Art.
A geometric and mathematical cosmos, that ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES considers independent worlds, but participants of the totality, calculated according to systems of proportion in their measurements. The relation between full space and empty spaces is dynamic, because it generates multiple variations, determined by the color, shape, number, and direction of the lines, an interactive space that generates an integrating harmony of all the geometric elements in the composition.
The thread of Ariadna, is the generic name that has adopted to denominate to her work ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES, as a consequence painting (1986-88) the marble sculpture of Ariadna of the Museum of the Prado, in which she discovered a harmony of geometric y order mathematician that was to preside over her future work. The space research has been formally complicating his proposals with a multiplication of rhythmic sequences, parallel to the world of music, pictorial geometries that she calls Continuous Spatial Drawings. From this proposal her work is incorporated into the new technologies applicable to the art of painting.

The recent works of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES, geometries of infinite development of the combinatorial of color and the process of the image generated by computer where the brushstroke is now structured by the pixel (picture element), dot in a rectilinear grid of points to form a geometric digital image.
With this digital process of the image, she has made the geometries of the present exhibition Música y Arte II. They constitute the beginning of a new series whose dot of expansion is musicality.
ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES has been able to see and work on the aesthetic aspects offered by the graphics of the musical notation. The pentagram or tetragram constitute the linear structure where the musical "signs" are deposited, she attempt to evoke the true graphia, which allows it to develop formal investigations related to Optical art and suggest virtual movements.

LA MIRADA ACTUAL
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
02/06/15.- ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES (Elche 1949) she has made a Retrospective Exhibition with the title of Geometry, Color and Musicality, digital diagrams and painting 1991-2015, in the Municipal Exhibition Center of the city, Elche-Elx.
Julia Sáez-Angulo, vicepresident of the Madrid Association of Art Critics, AMCA, and member of the AECA / Spain International, writes in the catalog:
Geometry, Color and Musicality are three concepts of the eurythmy that emerges from the artistic work of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES.
Geometry in which the rhythm of a musicality visible to the eyes is appreciated, inaudible, only in appearance.
She draws the dancing rhythm of a musicality that manifests herself in the wise administration of color on the support of paper, canvas ... geometry that dances; a musicality that is expressed in colors. Kandinsky already talked about it when he attributed musical notes to colors. Look at the sounds, hear the color.
Since the 90s she, ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES has a coherent research trajectory in Geometric Art, painting, sculpture and digital diagrams, from her work of Continuous Spatial Tracing,
Combinables to El Hilo de Ariadne. Geometry, color, rhythm and musicality are present in a creative world of lines, circles, squares, pixels ... designed by her artistic mind. Without leaving the painting, she uses the new technological means, which are fundamental in the generation of her innovative geometric artworks.
Geometry, Color and Musicality, is the conceptual key that describes the digital and pictorial geometrical work of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES.
The lines drawn in the space reticular square, horizons that expand in cartographies of the musicality, express in the digital geometries of ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES a perception of she at different countries, continents or cities: MUSICALITY-Sweden-Madrid-South America-Berlin -NewYork-MumbaiBombay-Beiying-Europe-GreeceGrecia-Tokyo-Paris-Nepal-Brooklyn-Africa-Universe.
ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES, in 1965-1970 she ingress and studied Professor of Drawing at the Superior Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Madrid and Complutense University of Madrid. She lived in Madrid until 1997 and later in London, where she was a guest artist at Gasworks Studios of London, and since mid-1999 she resides in Alicante. In 2000 she returned to London to make an exhibition at Hortensia Gallery, Kensington and Chelsea College in London.
In 2003 ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES presented her geometry research, El hilo de Ariadna-Combinatoria, with the new technological media. Geometric art: one hundred works (200x100 cm.each) for the Art Collection of Hotel H. Amerigo, Alicante.
In her Continuous Spatial Drawings, she, the painter ILUMINADA GARCIA TORRES highlights each brushstroke in an affirmation of the energy, lines in brushstrokes of unique gesture, singular each of the lines in the meditative trajectory of rhythms in color gradations in the squares of her works in Geometric Art, and in the geometry compositions, with the new digital media, the PIXELS constitute the structure of the lines.
