About Eulene Franzcelia:
"In her visual arts work, she has dedicated herself to transforming and revaluing disused objects. As a visual artist, she works with object art, sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, and more.
Teaching and learning the visual arts in formal and informal education have been her practice and interest for over 15 years, as well as cultural promotion. Therefore, she has continued her training and career as an artist-teacher in aesthetic education.
She has participated in various exhibitions and collective and solo projects in Mexico and abroad, with object-sculpture, drawing, and art laboratory projects, among others.
She graduated from the National School of Painting, Sculpture, and Engraving "La Esmeralda" of the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico City. She trained in various workshops in jewelry and goldsmithing, ceramics, screen printing, various artistic expression techniques, urban agriculture, seed germination, and medicinal plant care, and played soccer as a child. She currently resides in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where she is simultaneously developing two series of paintings: "I Don't Speak English" and "Changing Landscape."
She considers being here in Canada a renewing experience, as it complements the growth and development of her life project.
She is committed to combining art, education, and nature to generate ideas that can be shared in the community, in spaces close to her daily life. Based on her observation of the environment and the identification of human and environmental needs, she is interested in inspiring and being a reactive part of a recycling culture, participating in the practice and development of artistic interventions related to the regeneration, reuse, reconstruction, and redefinition of disused objects and our environment."
Message from the artist on "Ball Played":
"Ball played is my old ball, a childhood memory. It contains what happens in the experience of the game; it is the repository of stories.
In the landscape of my neighborhood in Mexico City, I found balls abandoned in the street, broken, with traces of the passage of time, scratched, dented, dirty, forgotten. I collected them, and in my studio, through drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, I have tried to capture their essence, drawing their form realistically, thus dignifying them by showing their strength, their beauty, with the hope of telling their stories, those tales that could unite us throughout life, through the play we share over time."
