Josefina Guilisasti has developed, in every pictorial and photographic work, a research on a genre that has been faced, throughout the history of art, to the problem of objectivity in representation.
Still life painting, as a minor genre displaced from the major subject matters and of public places, confined to the daily nature and intimacy of a certain place, is embraced in her work by means of a staging, as an illusionism of representation. In them, she places images of inanimate, common and silent objects from different points of view, relocating them on the exhibition space and thus combining the space of the image -limited to fiction- with the real space that surrounds the viewer -who gives meaning to the work itself.

Altering the order of representation and integrating the space that surrounds the picture, Guilisasti plays, with small pictorial fragments, with similarity and optical illusion of those silent elements represented in a scene, generating at once a particular intimacy between the work and the viewer, between parts and the whole, putting together countless relationships, ordered combinations and points of view, and leaving the work always open.
