The artistic work of Sara Jaramillo is inspired by the contemplation of the mythical ancestral of our indigenous roots, under a particular focus of artistic expression since it takes as a medium the goldsmithing. She refers us to the perennial, the transcendental, making the creative and unique effects and contributions of her art, remain associated with the old content, transformed with its self-sufficiency of language and form. The strength of his works in his spatial and functional context as sculpture and goldsmiths are the driving threads to appreciate the relationship of the work with its environment and purpose. It retains the time of the fossils, the dates of warriors of primitive cultures as an anthropological space that works at the same time as a record of consciousness and as updated with contemporaneity. The magic-religious aspect, as a starting point, gives rise to a new religiosity, where the arcanas beliefs are valued according to the new demands of esteem and consideration of the same ones. It conveys a speech inspired by the energy of the gems, the feeling of the grandiose and the majestic, the primitive emotion of shamans and the same fantastic objects. The psychological, the oneiric, deal with the passage of time and its transformations, is turned into works in a context, where art means new sociological experimentation and claims of rights to perform a new artistic transubstantiation in order to the purely aesthetic of today. Its orbiter language is expressed in the infinite possibilities of the symbolic representation of objects, which emerge with high quality in their forms, fruits of technological rigor in various applications. Everything works as a strategy in the understanding of this heterogeneity of elements, open to the creative impulse of Sara Jaramillo.
The works of goldsmiths, generally of small formats, show us a maturity to arrive at balanced compositions, exquisite in their elaboration and with an essentially Latin content, filled with a technical refinement. They are spiritual works, full of history and majesty. His work is loaded with research, technical dexterity, conceptual solidity, which plays with modernity, to become an enjoyment of beauty and pleasure for the viewer. Remains of fossils are part of the work that has been decanted to reach a composition full of refinement, technique and creativity. Abstract language plays with figurative subverting language with dexterity and conceptual solidity. The result is an eclectic selection of metals, stones and resources by the artist and by the public an aesthetic experience and an encounter with a stimulating and enriching work.
The epic beauty of jewels and sublime pieces, their dazzling brilliance on a small scale, create a poetic tone intense and moving in the midst of the great variety of pieces. The search for a new visuality and as an expression of the social sense of art makes the artist’s work come into contact with a specific historical moment where the goldsmithery in Venezuela is occupying a place of prestige, well deserved by the high quality of his works And the great effort of its artists in elaborating works of such singular plastic quality as is the orfébrica work of Sara Jaramillo.
