Who can say what drives us every day to continue
building our projects, evolve as people, create life
or just create?
Let us agree that life unquestionably contains a
boundary dividing the waters of what was and
what will be. That moment -that we can
generically call midlife- affirms our convictions,
even when in doubt, and allows us to project
ourselves forward. It is a path towards
introspection, yes, but it offers a stop, a way of
stepping back and analysing who we are from a
certain perspective.

Claudia Anselmi's Dis-Coverings (Des-
cubrimientos) exhibition shows this moment. And
even though all the artist's output is marked by a
strong inwardness, it would not be wrong to
assume that we are facing one of her most
emotionally dense productions, with a deeper
personal commitment.
Her rolls in boxes (or boxes with rolls) materialise
the process of seeking-capturing-evaluating and
feed from multiple sources that practically flow by
themselves: her old drawings from the 1980s, the
drawings by Iris Costa (her paternal
grandmother) that confirm the extent to which
family’s imprint influences the creative process,
and series of new drawings that synthesize the
artist's fleeting, yet powerful, inner visions.
