ARTIST STATEMENT

Artist Statement – Shilowska Pretto Founder of Dimensionalism I do not create to represent the world. I create to reveal what exists beyond it. My work is grounded in a lifelong inquiry into perception, dimensionality, and transformation. Each piece I create is t a transmission a resonance field created to disrupt the viewer’s habitual frameworks and invite entry into unknown terrain. Through form, symbolic ambiguity, and compositional dissonance, I construct thresholds . My aim is not to mirror reality, but to gently fracture it. This practice has given birth to a larger philosophy: Dimensionalism. It is an artistic and cognitive framework that proposes a shift from representation to transmission, from identity to frequency, and from narrative to perception itself. Dimensionalism is not concerned with documenting lived experience, gender, or sociopolitical discourse. Instead, it seeks to engage the viewer at the level of mind, body, and field bypassing explanation and awakening cognition through direct encounter with form. While my visual language may appear unfamiliar, it is underpinned by deep coherence. My work draws from cognitive science, nonlinear physics, symbolic systems, and quantum physics. It is not decorative. It is not autobiographical. It is a mythic technology crafted to be felt rather than understood. In a time where art is often reduced to content, identity, or provocation, I want to offer something else: a practice of resonance. A return to depth. A new perceptual architecture. I do not wish to be seen as a female artist, a Latin American artist, or even a contemporary artist. These labels are too narrow . I consider myself a a translator of unseen dimensions into form.
