In these works she uses a thin metal plate as a support for scraping with acrylic, creating a unique type of manual screen printing process.
The different visual results depend on the tools she chooses to scrape, the amount of paint and the pressure she applies with the metalspatula. The paintings have an almost silkscreened effect and are executed with different trowel measures. In some works, after scraping with acrylic, Patricia used a pure pigment oil stick, giving a new reading to oil painting and adding a calligraphic and expressive layer. She sees her latest work as the result of a combination of her graphic and pictorial sides. These paintings create a new abstract language situated between expressionist painting and graphic design.
In 2021, Patricia chooses one tool to work with: her large metal spatula. “The paintings evokes our feeling of escape, of wanting to transmute into a new dimension. A created unknown universe, an unconscious and futuristic one where a new landscape appears from the way she scrapes and use color”
Asking herself questions and reflections about our future in these paintings, the precision of the graphic design appears again in his work. as if his expressionist painting and precision graphic design took shape together.
