The astounding and intricate visual world created by Remedios Varo stands as one of the most important contributions to the international story of Surrealism. Born into a middle-class Spanish family in 1908, Varo’s claustrophobically strict Catholic upbringing led her to early acts of rebellion. Fascinated by mystical and monastic practices, she collected plants believed to have magical properties, and her interest in the fanciful was further spurred by trips to the Prado with her architect father, where she internalized the painting of the masters of the Northern Renaissance. Later while studying at Madrid’s prestigious Academia de San Fernando, she first read Surrealist publications.

With their search for liberated consciousness and a love for the occult, Surrealism offered the bohemian lifestyle and freedom Varo longed for. Her entanglement with the group, however, paralleled a life spent in exile—driven first to Paris by the Spanish Civil War, and later to Mexico City by World War II. In her mature paintings, Varo’s biography is always present, yet only obliquely. A prolific lifelong student, her personal iconography is founded in a complex matrix of influences, ranging from medieval history and Greek mythology to scientific experimentation, alchemy, nature, music and pagan practices. In Esquiador, an inventive tour-de-force of technical skill set in the heart of a dark forest, she offers us a glimpse at an otherworldly cabal of explorers

* * *

Remedios Varo was a Spanish-Mexican surrealist painter. She was born in Anglés Cataluna, Spain in 1908 and died from a heart-attack in Mexico City in 1963. During the Spanish Civil War she fled to Paris where she was largely influenced by the surrealist movement. She met in Barcelona the french surrealist poet Benjamin Péret and became his wife. She was forced into exile from Paris during the N**i occupation of France and moved to Mexico City at the end of 1941. She initially considered Mexico a temporary haven, but would remain in Latin America for the rest of her life.
