Silkscreen on silk

Cristina Iglesias' Habitación XII (2002) is a limited edition silkscreen print that continues her exploration of spatial perception and architectural forms. The image, rendered in monochromatic tones, presents a complex interior environment constructed from layered cardboard-like structures. Through the series of rectangular frames, the viewer is drawn into a receding space that culminates in an image of an outdoor forest scene in the distance, contrasting the man-made interior with the natural world. The composition plays with perspective, depth, and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. The visual tension between the rough, industrial texture of the cardboard and the soft, inviting forest scene creates a sense of intrigue and curiosity. Iglesias' use of silk as a medium adds an element of delicacy to the otherwise stark and architectural forms, inviting viewers to reflect on how we perceive and move through spaces.
