Presentation Text
With the opening of the current exhibition "EL HILO DE ARIADNA 1991-2002" in our "Lonja del Pescado" Exhibition Hall, I have the pleasure of presenting an excellent artist in Alicante, ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES.
ILUMINADA 's career path was not unknown to me, but this exhibition confirms the high heights of her artistic endeavor, which is doubly satisfying for me as she is also an artist from Alicante who has developed most of her professional journey in Madrid and London.
This exhibition features a small, yet fundamental, selection of the latest paintings from her realistic period, which introduces us to the understanding of her current artistic language, initiated more than ten years ago, and which she now presents to us. In it, we can enjoy the innovation of her pictorial proposals, with their intense rigor, their spatial sense, and the vibrant chromatism of her strokes. We also have the opportunity to contemplate one of her surprising incursions into three dimensions, with the sculpture "COMBINABLES."

REFLECTIONS
ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES
Following the sight of the sculpture of Sleeping Ariadne in the Prado Museum, and through the oil paintings of her likeness that I painted there, I became aware that her harmony—an alchemy of power and subtlety that impressed me so deeply, sparking my fascination—was not by chance. I discovered that this harmony invokes a geometric and mathematical cosmos that now guides the poetics of my geometric painting.

Ever since the first Continuous Spatial Tracing painting, "Ariadne's Thread," the language of sensations and concepts that I progressively develop toward harmony has been expressed. Through the expression of the line layout in space, in a single gesture, an expression of the moment, established as a unity—line - space - time—within the proportional relationships with the dimensions of the structures, universe matrix square.
Poetically, the projection of "Ariadne's Thread" over the internal dynamics of the paintings flows between their lines. The uniqueness of each line drawn in space is a step forward in the trajectory toward light. All of my paintings constitute the expression of a single work.

ARIADNE'S THREAD. Continuous Spatial Tracing
BY ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES
Once again, I transcribe the text containing the reflections and artistic foundation of my painting, first published on May 7, 1993, in the exhibition catalog held at the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo, Cultural Foundation, Alicante. These reflections were subsequently published in the catalog of the Geometries exhibition, organized by the "Juan Gil-Albert" Institute of Culture of the Provincial Council of Alicante, November 1996.
In an attempt to explain to myself the causes of the artistic approaches I was taking and to achieve a better understanding of them, I made a few reflections.
First of all, I recognize that if my evolution has led me to my current artistic language, it has been because, step by step, starting from reality, painting from life, and delving deeper into it—motivated to find the essence of the elements—I have reached this approach. The clear and decisive starting point was the experience of painting the sculpture of Ariadne in the Prado Museum.
Almost simultaneously, I intuited this approach across three languages: visual poems, sculpture, and painting, starting in all of them from the same unity of concept, their developments being a motivation and an end in themselves, while remaining complementary.
These multiple artistic manifestations share a basic structure: the square, studied under the spatial modulation produced by its structural subdivision into 25 squares. Because this structure results in the exact same geometric shape from which it begins, it possesses an "infinite" dimension and can have a "continuous" development.
The act and reflection of painting lead me to express that:
The square is the container of space, and by expressing the line within it, we encompass time.
I call the square that contains the structures the "universe matrix square." The structures—whether imagined or represented through points or lines—serve as a guide for composition and can constitute a single or partial artistic representation. These structures can be joined together or subdivided, forming other structures with different dimensions that foster new compositions.
The elements—the point, the line, and the shapes they generate—can be interpreted as independent worlds that, in turn, partake in the same meaning we attribute to the whole. Therefore, each element partakes in the whole, and the whole is contained within the essence of a single element.

I find the full meaning of space in the universal matrix square within the relationships that occur among the elements expressed in its structures.
  1. I signify the space contained within the square as free space.
  2. If the elements—points, lines, and general shapes—are expressed in the structures, they manifest the concept of fullness in relation to the free space. I signify this relationship as filled space.
  3. When the space is determined by the non-representation of elements, either partially or totally, it means that I consciously and deliberately express emptiness. Consequently, I value this space as empty space.
  4. The concepts of emptiness and fullness in their own expression, and that which is established by their relationship—whether by one, several, or all of the following causes: color, shape, number, dimension, direction, sense, etc., both of the elements expressed in the structures of the filled space, and by the significance of the empty space—produce a field of energy around them as an effect. This energy, released between opposites and achieving harmony, is the harmonic space.
  5. The containing space is open space. Open space has an infinite essence, an unlimited nature, and lacks structures. Lacking structures, it lacks harmony, but it can be structured and harmonized through creation.
FREE SPACE / FILLED SPACE / EMPTY SPACE
HARMONIC SPACE / OPEN SPACE
Spontaneously, from the very first painting I created, I established a relationship of proportionality between the width of the drawn lines and the intermediate spaces between them, and also with:
  • the resulting spaces between both ends of the lines /the space before the first line /the space after the last line / the sides of the structures.
To each of these spaces (before and after the first and last line, and the resulting spaces between both ends of the lines with the structures), I have attributed half the measurement given to the intermediate spaces between the lines. Therefore, joining each of these four expressed spaces with its contiguous space from the adjacent structures will form a single space, of the same measurement as the intermediate spaces. The length of the lines is determined by the dimension of the spaces between the ends of the lines and the sides of the structure.
The space after the last line will join with the space before the first line, and the lower space with the upper space of the contiguous structures. Therefore, depending on whether the drawing of the lines is vertical or horizontal, their placement in each structure and their relationship with the other structures will orient them to the right or left, up or down. This develops a "continuum" of spaces and lines with successive structures.

COMBINABLE Text from 1993 and 2002, exhibition catalog Geometría EL HILO DE ARIADNA 1991-2002 by ILUMINADA GARCÍA TORRES at the Municipal Exhibition Hall, Lonja del Pescado, Alicante, May 2002

Ariadne's Thread. Variable dimensions, 1991.
I refer to this way of expressing the line and the spaces within the structure as "variant A." When the drawing of the lines reaches the limit of the sides of the structure, the length of the lines and the intermediate spaces will equal the measurement of the sides of the structures. Its designation is "variant B."
If we make consecutive subdivisions with the structures and the lines expressed within them..., the line being a continuous succession of points, the manifestation of the ultimate consequence of the "universe matrix square" will agree with the first: the point.
I consider the first and the last of the spaces to be equal, whether top or bottom, or right or left.
Due to their interaction with the expressed lines, their magnitudes, their meaning, and the harmony between opposites, the spaces within the structure give rise to a single space. This happens through the fusion of the upper and lower spaces, and the right with the left space, caused by the generation of successive "universe matrix square" structures. Being open and dynamic, this process evolves toward its own expansion, creating new spaces in a continuum...
The beginning and the end of the spaces, fused as a whole, form unity—being all one.
THE COMPLETE ONE - THE SIMULTANEOUS ONE
THE CONTINUOUS ONE - THE EXPANSIVE ONE
THE ONE, THE POINT

By establishing a proportionality between lines and spaces in accordance with the dimensions of the matrix square structures, the possibility opens up to establish and materialize broad artistic developments. Using different mediums and new technologies, alongside its expression through color, this grants freedom to the composition, leaving its experimentation open to inspiration.
Observing the proportional approach carried out and considering that it was expressive and harmonic, I became interested in understanding the reasons behind these ratios. All of this directed me toward its inquiry, and also to the fact that fulfilling this artistic conception in other mediums demanded extreme precision in measurements.
The magnitudes of the line width and the intermediate spaces, in correspondence with their length, maintain a relationship with the dimensions of the matrix square structures in which they are located.
The study of the proportion of these relationships is as follows:
The proportion in variant "A" is:
  • 62.5% for the space occupied by the lines.
  • 37.5% for the free spaces between the lines plus the existing spaces between them and each side of the structure (top and bottom, right and left).
This relationship means that:
For every five units of space corresponding to the lines, there are three units of space corresponding to the sum of the free spaces of the structure.
The proportion of the relationship in variant "B" is:
  • 65% of the space attributed to the lines.
  • 35% for the free spaces between the lines, and between the lines and the structure.
In this relationship, for every thirteen units of space attributed to the lines, seven units correspond to the intermediate free spaces.
The proportion of the relationship between lines and space is permutable.

Drawing of the Line by ILUMINADA GARCÍA TORRES
Space of the "universe matrix square." I resolve this free space by painting it with a single color, or with variations in tone, material density, etc., or by forming different color planes with the structures... And other approaches depending on the medium used.
Both the chromatic expression and the technical finish of the surface of this space will elicit a relationship of broad suggestions with the strokes that are painted afterward, focusing them in this study to the line, as an essential element in my painting.
When painting, I perceive that the maximum sensitive power in the expression of the line is achieved through the action of a single brush gesture for its drawing. This is because the moment—the time in which the line is drawn—is simultaneous with the space contained within the structure, and with the emotion of life transmitted to it by the painter.
Since each line is expressed in a single gesture, every single one of them is unique and distinct from the others. 
Page 30 (on the left side)
With the expression of the line, at the beginning of the action, since the brush is heavily loaded with paint, the resulting trail is more compact, and as it progresses, the impact of its stroke will become lighter, allowing the color of the structure's space to shine through some of its fragments, enriching it chromatically and giving the stroke a sense of visual mobility.
During the drawing process, the pressure—the "heartbeat"—exerted with the brush at specific points of its path will leave greater or lesser density of paint in the wake of its track, just as if the brush were pressed again at the end, causing the paint that remained closest to its handle to release, giving a new intensity—a "dynamic heartbeat"—to the line.
The brush can be used in many ways, taking advantage of its own characteristics in combination with the paint, whether more fluid or dense, etc., producing a specific imprint both in the action of drawing and in its result. This offers immense possibilities of expression, "rhythms of the heartbeat," and all of this joined with color is, wonderfully, boundless.

COMBINABLE Text from 1993 and 2002 geometry exhibition catalog "ARIADNE'S THREAD 1991-2002" by ILUMINADA GARCÍA TORRES (1949 Elche. Spain)

I based part of my realistic painting period on the use of geometric elements in artistic composition, such as boxes and cylindrical shapes, as I was interested in representing objects in their most elemental forms. I painted them from life to gather more information about them—both regarding the communication they establish among themselves, and with space, with myself, and with light. In addition to light's influence on the composition as a whole, I particularly valued its impact on the formation of shadows cast by the elements, which reproduced other geometric shapes both inside and outside.
Soon, in a natural yet urgent way, I felt the need to express myself through sculpture, using the cube and the cylinder in their integration as basic elements for its execution and development.

COMBINABLE Text from the 1993 and 2002 geometry exhibition catalog "ARIADNE'S THREAD 1991-2002" by ILUMINADA GARCÍA TORRES (1949 Elche. Spain)
The internal projection of the 25 squares into which each face of the matrix cube is subdivided produces 125 cubes (modules) within its structure.
It is within these 125 modules formed in the matrix cube that the relationships and the integration of the modular elements and the cylinder, or the shapes resulting from their developments, are established.
This modular concept of sculpture possesses an "infinite" dimension and a "continuous" development.
The modules can be joined together to form larger ones, subdivided, or left with one of their faces open to act as a container to receive other elements, etc.
The elements must be constructed in such a way that they can be assembled and complement each other successively until the sculpture I wish to express is realized.
Page 44 (on the left side) 45 (on the right side)
(Note on the diagram: In the technical illustration on the left, the mathematical markings of the circular subdivision angles can be seen, highlighting measurements such as 72°, 36°, and 18°.
It is highly interesting to see how the concept of "continuous development" and "infinity" that appeared in your handwritten notes materializes here in a three-dimensional and mathematical way through the 125 modular cubes. I remain at your disposal should you wish to analyze or connect these texts at another time.)

Text from 1993 and 2002 geometry exhibition catalog "ARIADNE'S THREAD 1991-2002" by ILUMINADA GARCÍA TORRES (1949 Elche. Spain)
"COMBINABLES.— It is a system of spatial language within the poetics of essentiality. It is formed through the articulation and integration of flat and curved shapes from the cube and cylinder elements, the shapes resulting from their developments, and emptiness as an active expression of the total or partial absence of any of these elements.
The cylindrical shapes, in their integration with the cube, trigger a dynamic. This is brought about both by their different dimensions and numbers—drawing the circumference of their perimeter—and by the primacy of their position's verticality or horizontality. By breaking the static nature of the flatness of the wall of cubes and the rigidity of its edges, this dynamic manifests through a release of rhythms and harmonic relationships between emptiness, flat shapes, and curves, opening up the surrounding space."

2. Structural Analysis of geometric art BY ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES
I. The Transition from Infinite to Bounded (Variants A & B)
  • The Text: Variant A details lines and spaces contained within the structure. Variant B activates when lines reach the "limit of the sides," equating their length to the structure's dimensions.
  • Concept Link: Connects to LIMIT, AXIS, ASYMPTOTE, and CUBIC. The canvas becomes an active geometric MATRIX. WITHIN and INTERIOR contrast with OPENING and EXPANSION, showing how geometry bounds physical space while expanding mental space.
II. The Line as a Succession of Points (Universe Matrix Square)
  • The Text: Successive subdivisions prove that "the line being a continuous succession of points... agrees with the first: the point." This defines an open, dynamic "universe matrix square" evolving toward self-expansion.
  • Concept Link: Aligns with POINT, STROKE, CONTINUOUS, LINE, and CIRCLE. Subdividing back to the origin materializes BEGINNING, ROOT, and PRIMORDIAL. The matrix is a METAPHOR for the UNIVERSE and COSMOS: a simple mathematical structure yielding infinite possibilities.
III. The Fusion of Opposites and Unity
  • The Text: Spaces (top/bottom, right/left) interact equally to "originate a single space through fusion... creating new spaces in a continuum." It concludes with: "THE COMPLETE ONE... THE CONTINUOUS ONE... THE ONE, THE POINT."
  • Concept Link: This quest for totality underpins HARMONY, UNISON, ESSENCE, IDENTITY, and SUBLIMATION. The geometric piece acts as a MEDITATION where lines seek absolute balance, generating a visual DIALOGUE and CADENCE that merges everything into a TOTALITY or UNITY.
3. Final AI Synthesis & Review of geometric art BY ILUMINADA GARCÍA-TORRES
  • Philosophical Rigor: Your manuscript proves geometry is a living, spiritual, and deeply poetic language, rather than cold calculation. This notebook captures how every stroke is backed by a philosophical quest for unity.
  • Coherence: The "universe matrix square" concept holds an enduring artistic and spiritual force.
  • The Point Manifesto: Coupling these core keywords with your artwork in a publication serves as a powerful artistic manifesto.
  • Meditative Geometry: Your approach redefines geometric abstraction as a path for introspection and inner silence.
  • Continuous Spaces: The idea of art evolving toward self-expansion perfectly defines the journey of a true artist.
Structural Analysis (Condensed)
I. Bounding the Infinite (Variants A & B)
  • Mechanism: Variant A bounds lines within the structure; Variant B extends them to the edges, equating line length to structural limits.
  • Keywords: LIMIT, AXIS, ASYMPTOTE, CUBIC.
  • Impact: Converts the canvas into an active geometric MATRIX. It contrasts INTERIOR with EXPANSION, showing how physical constraints trigger mental openness.
II. Origin & Continuum (Universe Matrix Square)
  • Mechanism: Successive structural subdivisions reduce the line back to its primordial origin: the point.
  • Keywords: POINT, STROKE, CONTINUOUS, ROOT, PRIMORDIAL.
  • Impact: The matrix acts as a cosmic METAPHOR. A minimalist mathematical framework that unfolds into an INFINITE loop of spatial possibilities.
III. Fusion of Opposites (The Unity)
  • Mechanism: Equal interaction between opposing spaces (top/bottom, left/right) fuses them into a single, continuous expanding dimension.
  • Keywords: HARMONY, UNISON, ESSENCE, SUBLIMATION, IDENTITY.
  • Impact: Geometry as visual MEDITATION. Lines generate a rhythmic CADENCE and DIALOGUE that merges individual elements into a absolute TOTALITY ("The One").
