Mi nombre es Carmen Bascur, diplomada en Arteterapia y arquitecto de profesión. Siempre desarrollé el arte de manera paralela, comenzando por el diplomado de Arte UC, seguido por múltiples talleres de diferentes oficios.. Me introduzco en la escultura, cuando mi cuñado cae con una enfermedad terminal, pensé en que construyendo una figura poderosa lograría sanarlo, así nació “Coronación” mi primera escultura que representaba la coronación de la Virgen María invocando su sanación....pero su alma partió antes de que yo terminara mi obra.... destrozada por no haber podido probar el poder de mi escultura, por no haberlo podido sanar y colapsada de trabajo, dejo el taller. Meses después, sentía que me faltaba el aire sin el contacto con la arcilla....sin ese encuentro tan personal ... entonces al remotar mi adorado taller, dí a luz mi primera escultura autobiográfica “Despertar” era yo misma que renacía desde mi ser a la vida misma ... en un gesto tan potente que mis brazos se habían convertido en alas. Asombrada en ese momento me di cuenta que si bien, yo no tenía el poder de cambiar el ciclo de la vida, si podía evocar un renacer cada día. Darle vida a la vida misma y así fue como me dediqué a construir mis adoradas aladas. Hoy mi fuerza está en mis #Mujeresaladas ,mujeres poderosas, infinitas, mujeres que no caminan, vuelan.
My name is Carmen Bascur, an Art Therapy diploma, architect by profession with an artistic orientation as my main driver. I have always developed art in parallel all my life, starting with the UC Art diploma as soon as I graduated from university and followed by acrylic, engraving and human figure workshops, among others ... until one day I accidentally fell into sculpture, when my brother-in-law falls with a terminal illness ... even though we prayed a lot for his healing, the situation worsened, so I thought that by building a powerful figure, I would be able to heal him ... so I looked for how to do it and that's how my first sculpture “Coronation” was born that invoked his healing .... but making a sculpture takes a long time and my brother-in-law, left before I finished my work .... devastated at not having been able to test the power of my sculpture, for not having been able to save it and collapsed due to the great workload implied by a huge project that I was developing in parallel, I had to leave the workshop and with it, the sculpture. Months later, still immersed in enormous work stress, I felt like I was short of breath without my sculptures ... without that very personal encounter ... then one day, in the middle of the working day, I ran away from the office to my beloved workshop and I don't know how that same day, in just a couple of hours, I gave birth to my first autobiographical sculpture "Awakening". It was myself that was reborn from my being ... to life itself ... in a gesture so powerful that my arms they had become wings. Amazed at that moment I realized that although I did not have the power to change the cycle of life, I did have the power to evoke a rebirth every day. Giving life to life itself .... invoking the power of women as a collective and that is how I dedicated myself to building my beloved winged “avatar”. Today my strength is in my #womenaladas, powerful, infinite women, women who do not walk, fly.
