DESCRIPTION
"Hasta el infinito" oil painting is probably the most personal artwork by legend Emilia Castañeda.
 
It is about the death of her son, who died in a tragic accident in Barcelona. Emilia immortalized her taking him to the infinite.
 
"A legend alive, Emilia paints with intransferable delicacy and courage. 
 
She paints as it is, with the same essential need of the trobbing of her pulse. She creates with two realities, both truthful and dreamed at the same time. 
 
Not only dreamed, but constructed, as delivered to life by the existence she imposes on forms, vigorous and vanished; in the attitudes, elaborated with splendid ease; in strokes of her brush that re-create the lights of impossible dawns and, with simultaneity, amazingly, hook themselves in some eyes of candid, chilling precision or in some foreshortening where there is only truth.
 
Emilia Castañeda is in possession of much more important pictorial and drawing resources. Imagination is not everything in her work, nor her ability to create significative atmospheres for a certain figure group or a symbolic scene. The fitting of those figures, composition rhythms and the pictorial making are a work of infrequent quality.
 
Her colours are bright and extremely delicate, tending to exquisite cold tones, making what is severe, what is sensitive and what is dreamt go together, denoting a technique maturity, result of many constant efforts to assimilate painting experiences through direct observation of reality"
 
Horacio Sáenz Guerrero and Santos Torrella
