Letter to the Mother [left] 1993

Elena del Rivero's 1993 work, *Letter to the Mother*, is an abstract drawing composed of thousands of meticulously drawn tiny squares. The work appears to be a dense field of graphite, creating a sense of depth and texture. The title suggests a personal and emotional connection to the work, potentially referencing a mother-daughter relationship and the complexities of communication. While the subject matter is abstract, the repetitive, almost mechanical nature of the marks evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and introspection. The artwork is a testament to del Rivero's dedication to process and detail, inviting viewers to consider the nature of artistic expression and the power of visual language.
