… qu-est-ce que vous exprimez dans vos yeux ?
Ce me semble davantage que tout l’imprimé que j’ai lu dans ma vie (…)

Walt Whitman, « Feuilles d’herbe »

 

Femmes contemporaines prises dans la bi-dimensionnalité du pictural, muses d’un monde énigmatique.

Un point de vue et un lieu unique. Une partie du tout. Comme être et comme forme. Un petit fragment d’essence.

Il y a dans les œuvres des fenêtres comme autant de miroirs. Et ce qui est inhérent à tout portrait: un conflit entre introspection et projection: quelle est la part de l’un et quelle est la part de l’autre ?

    “What are Ana Galan’s women thinking or feeling? I’m not quite sure but I want to know, and I keep studying their faces for answers. I admit I have a weakness for a series of photographs that lets me carefully compare the similarities and differences between things, but these portraits are particularly rewarding. Their ambiguous emotional state makes me stare right back. Here there is beauty in restraint.” Todd James, Senior Photo Editor, National Geographic Magazine. June 2011.
