ELENA AFIRMATIVA
Repetition of an Infra-Sign
Project initiated in 2013 and still ongoing. It has been recognized in several painting competitions, including the “C. Salinas” Prize at the 34th Huestes del Cadí Competition (Elda), selection for the 9th National Painting Award “Miradas” (Fundación Jorge Alió, Alicante), and the 14th National Painting Prize of the University of Murcia.
The project Repetition of an Infra-Sign unfolds a set of expanded paintings on graph paper through folding techniques. Each work constitutes an exercise in extreme restraint, where the pictorial gesture folds—literally and conceptually. The project thus becomes a meditation on minimal variation, operating as an experimental laboratory in which the pictorial, the sculptural, and the optical are interwoven. It has been recognized in multiple painting competitions.
