The
nudity of the pieces, the compactness of the
shapes, the proportion of the elements, the
monumental vocation finds in these concern
some mythical his values that Madola
incorporates in her vocabulary in an
architecture made to her measure, in an
extension of ceramic resources that she
takes to the limit of her expressiveness and
of the special possibilities of the kilns
which she works with.
It
seems as if she wanted to transmit part of
the religious symbolization that join the
templates, the sanctuaries and the altar of
great historical cultures to a repertory of
pieces that surpass the ceramic magnitude,
from its material stand to become totems of
the memory or architecture of the myth.

Barcelona, 1993
From
the steles passing through the “doors” in
1998 Madola’s work of art is a work art in
progress. The old surfaces nearly in two
dimensions have become gradually
tri-dimensional objects, not with violent
breakage but with a soft evolution of the
shapes. They have the memory of
pre-historical architectures or historical
background.
The
architectonic substratum has become
accentuated: doors with their entablatures,
menhirs, narrow and long tablets,
“templates”. In her great richness of art,
she combines the plans with the curves, the
pedestals of straight walls with the
columns, what is closed with what is open,
always white a sense of vertically and
monumentality.
The
surfaces continue being strong, rugs,
suggestive with their oxides mixed with the
impost, producing a colouring paradoxically
discreet and flashy, really romantic. All
her thought is expressed in her old palette
of brown, blue land and white colours.
Trinitat Sanches Pacheco, Museu de
Ceramica, Barcelona, 1990
To
the series “Urns”, Madola gives them the
withdrawal and melancholy of the finite,
where one can rest.
Madola scrapes and leaves strokes, hollow
and splits, strokes from whom left.
On
an urn, the artist leaves an open book as
meaning that the reading was finished.
Memory, time, space, recollections: all the
elements that form this universal vase that
is the human species and which come to
converge in the eye of the storm that Madola
searches for a historical perspective.
Natacha Sesena, Museu Juan
Baroja, Gijon November 1996
Her
speech is the one made from inside about the
human condition itself. There is not a tramp
or a hiding place. Memory is a trick and
fear, our nudity. With this sad and weak
impediment, we are building up the time that
is going by without solace and we still want
to capture it through memories.
Therefore, the work of art .The great merit
the one that converts these pieces of art in
unique, unrepeatable and definitive, works
of art for ever.
It
is their beauty, a transcendental beauty, of
weight whit punch and power similar to those
who are worn-out by life, humanity and
peacefulness.
Also, knowledge is, at the same time energy
to go on. I think all that is also
transmitted by Madola’s work of art; the
interest in living,the
serenity in having lived and the illusion to
continue living with the help of her pieces
of art. How much!
