In Useless Science, instruments, processes, and acts of investigation appear detached from practical outcome, transforming scientific inquiry into something symbolic, introspective, and quietly absurd. Rather than criticising science directly, Varo examines the limits of rational systems when separated from intuition, imagination, or lived experience. Her compositions often resemble laboratories, observatories, or workshops governed by precise internal rules, yet the activities unfolding within them suggest experiments whose meanings remain elusive or deliberately unresolved. The painting reflects Varo’s wider fascination with alchemy, mysticism, and esoteric thought, where knowledge is treated not as fixed certainty but as a process of continual transformation. In Useless Science, objects and figures appear locked within carefully controlled mechanisms, implying endless analysis without final conclusion. The result creates tension between intellectual discipline and the impossibility of complete understanding. What gives the work its enduring fascination is the precision of its construction. Every symbolic detail appears intentionally placed, allowing the painting to operate simultaneously as satire, philosophical reflection, and visual puzzle. Varo transforms the language of science into a surreal system of inquiry where meaning remains permanently in motion.
