Statement:
In Yolanda’s visual work, two images recur vice-versa. One set of her works shows the visage of a strange person, with a Cyclopic eye, in close-up frontal view. The face spans the entire vertical and horizontal space. The face is shattered, broken into pieces, but consolidated as in a jigsaw puzzle. His large eye apparently does not convey any particular message, but if the spectator looks at it for a few moments, the stare is harrowing. Though painted in many colours, only one colour dominates the palette.
The other set shows a loner, a man in his deeply private moment. The open space around this man is filled with a strange eloquent silence. He often carries a guitar and a pet dog follows him. In these paintings we find a book with the queer title “Who am I?” This title suggests a soliloquy within. The viewer sees his own persona in these paintings. Though the dog cannot speak, he can share human emotions. The strings of the guitar await human touch and can express the intents of the self within. Man, in his journey from birth to death, is a loner. During his lifetime, he experiences a number of shocks, and has to adjust himself with the realities around. Human existence is therefore woven with conflicts between the self and the persona. Yolanda as a sensitive artist touches this human chord within when she ventures into the twilight zone of this conflict. The two sets of work complement each other by creating an ambience of self-actualization. She makes us conscious about the fact that as human beings we are bounded by certain limitations that are inviolable and insurmountable. As an artist, Yolanda delves deep into the questioning mind and paints the sense of isolation felt by the individual. In her paintings, she objectifies the thinking mind in a unique manner.
