Angelina Lestemar

Euskadi, 1950. Her work, from “Nueces” to “Letraherida”, is a journey through the most sensitive corners of her biography: her origins in her mother's camp, the memory of her dead in the civil war, the pleasure and the contradiction of attraction to crafts and all that is ephemeral, such as the wax that changes according to the existing temperature, or the existential and poetic texts of a narrative that puts us at the center of some social problems about old age. Travel is always his metaphor.

«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit». (Of the text “Plural like the universo”, of Nora Ancarola.)
