In the world there are people with exceptional gifts that are beyond common reasoning, they can connect with the energy of nature to the point of understanding their messages, one of those people is Esperanza Proaño, a woman born in the city of Palencia in Spain, With a special sensitivity for the trees, from the day of his birth she made a particular link with the trees that surrounded it and over time learned to communicate with them and carve their messages in the wood. Next we will know the history of this interesting plastic artist.
Esperanza Proaño: The messenger of the trees.
The childhood of Esperanza Proaño was very happy in a very dense natural forest where nature marked the rhythm of life, the memories of that childhood always accompany her because it was during her first years when she began to connect with nature, seeing the trees Growing discovered art in the unique form of its branches. The link with nature became essential, touching the trees, feeling them and embracing them a need.
She was born near a river surrounded by a forest of oaks, where he began to see wood as an essential element in his life, besides heating it on cold nights was useful for many things, the life of the field uses it in all its surroundings , of this infinity of utilities, art was the most important, her sensitivity for nature transformed her into artistic skills.
She affirms that the human ear is not so fine as to listen to the trees, because they communicate through very fragile whispers that we can not hear easily, Esperanza has achieved this by paying special attention to the sounds of nature to understand them, to embrace It has helped a tree feel its energy and hear its whispers in the wind. Some of the messages that have given communicate sadness because we do not want them, we do not appreciate the resources we take from them, other messages communicate the wisdom of nature in its perfect, constant and unstoppable cycle.
In adulthood, she rescues tree branches that have been cut down and turns them into unique pieces of art, allowing herself to be carried away by the energy transmitted by the wood. Her carving gives new life to the branches through his imagination, transforming them into works as unique as the one of the tree that generated them. Working wood has found freedom and expression. Her sensitivity and passion lies in observing the beauty of creation, filling a piece of dead tree with life and leaving a little of his own life in the wood.

You can not imagine the sensations I feel when I start a job in front of a piece of "dead" tree. My need is then to bring her back to life by making theme something beautiful. A branch in my hands does not die or lose its beauty. I need to recover that poise and majesty that the tree had in life and translate it into a work that brings back life without sap but with a taste for art. In each piece, in each size I intend to delve into its interior, I open hollows looking for its essence that ends up discovering me some forms that remove the rigidity of the wood to become malleable. I do not go, the wood takes me.
