His “Sisters Collection” of female heads combines elegant shapes, sculptures and delicately rendered finishes that pay tribute to women of all cultures. Her Sisters, women artists and activists are Louise Bourgeois, Frida Kahlo, Helen Frankenthaler and Clara Campoamor, representing many of the key themes of Pepa Reverter’s work. Each piece begins as a sketch, then a painting, before being realized as a vase or as a sculpture, a process that allows you to experiment long and explore the multiple meanings that the “sisters” represent in form and meaning. Pepa Reverter’s creativity has a purpose, the purpose is what motivates his explorations with color and form, creating a mood, invoking a memory or mixing an emotion.
