This painting pays homage to the works of Rothko, offering a nod to his intention of losing oneself within the canvas while simultaneously providing a return to reality through the presence of a cat. Inspired by Rothko's exploration of colour and emotion, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its layers and textures, allowing them to be enveloped by the profound depth of the abstract composition. The meticulous application of colour evokes a sense of introspection and contemplation, echoing Rothko's desire to create spaces for quiet reflection and emotional resonance. At the same time, the inclusion of the cat introduces a playful yet profound element into the narrative. As viewers lose themselves in the painting, the presence of the cat serves as a gentle reminder of the world outside the canvas, grounding them in the present moment. The cat becomes a bridge between the inner world of the painting and the external reality, offering solace and companionship in the journey of self-discovery. In this way, "9 lives" not only celebrates the artistic legacy of Rothko but also invites viewers to engage in a dialogue between the abstract and the tangible, between introspection and connection with the world around us. It is a reminder that even in moments of profound contemplation, there is beauty to be found in the simplicity of everyday life.

artist statement “I explore the essence of ART: I am intrigued by the motifs of the works that endure over time, and those that fall into oblivion. I live art as a timeless conversation where not everything is said, where the essential is precisely the unspoken. There are some things in life that are just too hard to put into words. They're so deep and meaningful that they go beyond what language can express. And it's exactly those things, the unsaid, the little shared moments that draw you in and make you a part of the art. When you experience a piece of art, it's like this secret language between you and the artist. You become a vital player, an enthusiastic collaborator in the whole artistic experience. And that's the kind of art that sticks around. That's the kind of art I strive to create in every single piece I make. This conversation we could be having right now, you in front of an artwork, it's like magic. It breathes life into the artwork, making it a forever item. With every interaction, with every different person who engages with it, the art is reborn and finished all over again. It's a beautiful dance between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer, each bringing their own unique touch to the mix. That is what I finally intend when I create my art: I want you to be an active part of my living work. BIO Begoña Lafuente is a versatile artist in the realms of painting, graphic design, and multimedia. Her artistic career was initially grounded in graphic design, which she honed in Madrid during the early 1990s. Begoña skillfully weaves her classical artistic education, holding a degree in Fine Arts, with her commitment to staying at the forefront of evolving art forms. In 2009, she embarked on a new chapter in the Netherlands, where she connected with local and international artists from diverse disciplines. This cross-cultural experience became an integral part of her art, merging seamlessly with the rich tradition of the Spanish school. Begoña's creative palette encompasses an array of techniques, including painting, collage, drawing, photography, scans, and monoprints. Her work consistently features the human face as a symbol of humanity. Her semi-abstract portraits blur the boundaries between the familiar and the abstract, capturing the essence of individuals in elegant simplicity, transcending mere photographic likeness. By amalgamating the recognizable with the abstract, her creations generate emotional and visual tension.
