Ximena Armas: is a Chilean painter. Ximena Armas's works hide secrets. Nothing is revealed; all is instead veiled with ribbons and bands, hemmed with curtains, burrowed beneath a mass of stones. She fringes all her paintings with mystery, dresses them with shades. One is struck at once by their odd composition, made of striped bands, ruffled feathers, or beach huts. Her figures hide or suddenly appear as shadows or silhouettes. The artist plays at staging over and over again the familiar elements of her dreamlike world, thus totally mastering space and swamping it with symbols.
