The moving beauty of an exhibition is not only produced by the dialectic height or the formal quality of the works brought together, but is mainly caused by the elegance and sublimity of the aesthetic and melodic composition of their arrangement in the space conceived to carry out the narration of their morphological exhibition contents and the dialogue that both come to establish once the exhibition is open. A fact where all the elements mentioned in the course of its conception come together, both the conceptual ones (the inherent ones imposed by the creator), the technical ones (its own elaborate development), and those of its conclusive physicality, its definitive and shown formal aspect, which in the end is what will make us (the visiting and contemplative public) become part of its meaning, of its true raison d'être, since it is absolutely ineluctable that the work of art is as long as it is shown and as a consequence viviscent and reviviscent as many times as it is revealed by being participated in, simply looked at by those who visit it.
Works of art are like books, which regain their life, their nature of being and their sense of having been written when they are opened and read by readers, an action that will be every time that book is opened and read. If that action were never carried out, the closed book, deposited somewhere on a shelf, is and will only be an inert body, an object, a geometric body occupying a small piece of our shelves. In the same way a work of art is as long as it is shown, exhibited, contemplated and interacted with by a pristine dialogue between work and spectator. Hence the value, the excellence, absolutely fundamental, of the compositional exercise that is practised in each of the exhibitions that are held. An exercise of meticulousness, analysis, consideration, feeling and soul that must be established between the artist, his skill, the work and the place where the encounter and the expressive growth of the formal ensemble will take place.
The exhibition that Esther Pizarro shows us of her work in the "Universitas" Exhibition Hall of the Miguel Hernández University is undoubtedly a delicate, elegant, subtle work, where both the work and the exhibition space intertwine in a soft and melodic narrative to construct a silent poetry book full of punctual calls to rejoice, to be absorbed, to pause. With this result, Esther Pizarro thus summons up an intimate, private and emotional dialogue between all the confluence that comes together in any exhibition process. The arrangement and choice of the punctual occupations of the works in the room represents the musical sequence in the composition of her poetry book, architectural space, volumes, scales, proportions and the light and ethereal effect that her works seem to show together with the sensibility that they demand from the spectator, achieves a formal and moving encounter of extraordinary elegance.
The execution and final representation of the architectural and urbanistic elaborations of Esther Pizarro's pieces provide that orthogonal poetic topology of extraordinary graphic beauty. We deeply celebrate this exhibition by this great artist in our Exhibition Hall.
