"The Thoughts Make No Noise" series consists of current serigraphs by Ana Ventura, which serve as illustrations for the book "The Thoughts Make No Noise," written by Constance ƃĖœrbeck-Nilssen and soon to be released by the Norwegian publisher Magikon Forlag. In her images, the artist creates a blend of innocence and poetic surrealism reminiscent of the Belgian artist Magritte, introducing a new code of perception that blurs the boundaries between the real and the unreal, the visible and the invisible. She takes us on a journey through a territory where scales are subverted, and the extraordinary and the marvelous come together, positively "contaminating" the objects and beings in her plastic fables. These are stories for adults who, like her, refuse to lose the magical domain of childhood.
