Torpor and Fantasy by Sofía Dourron
"Yes, she is an observer of reality, but she is not a neutral interpreter; she plunges into the darkest and stickiest depths unreached by light, then to emerge on the other side, with an image that is barely discrepant. Her motives, which at a first glance seem almost bland and stemming from the boredom or the laziness of someone whose bridges have been burned down, instead burst forth with the determination of someone who looks at everyday nature daringly and inquisitively. As if she were seeking to affirm her own existence in painting, Dignora devoted herself to portraying, over and over, almost obsessively, altered versions of the settings around her. She portrayed her own place, other people’s houses, her trips, her walks, views of balconies, birds, cats, people, interiors, alleys, fields, beaches."
