Press Release

Maru Quiñonero (Murcia, 1979) returns to blue tones in this new body of work oncanvas in which she reviews her repertoire of a color that has a lot of meaning for her,being a constant in her career. In this new series where the canvas, as a medium, playsthe main role, Maru uses colors that maybe remind her of the sky of Madrid both atdawn and at sunset, a sky that she enjoys during daily walks with her dogs through thecity or the sea of her childhood in Almería. It seems like a kind of a rainbow of bluesfilled with other colors. Because as she says: “life is full of blues”, and all of them makeup a new chromatic universe that is displayed throughout these 15 never revealed works.

Beyond the velvety texture of the strokes of usual pencil-on-paper works of Maru, thistime, she faces the canvas working with acrylic paint and pencil. Thus, a growth can beseen in the material use of paint that works little by little, de mica en mica, layer by layerof color until achieving a surface full of nuances, full of deep sense. Surfaces delimitedwith pencil echoes that return us to the familiarity of Quiñonero. Trying to make theviewer complete with their gaze all the colors that are in the background of each figure.

About the Artist

I feel colours in words, mainly in some letters in particular, that’s why I work with colour in an emotional manner. I cannot imagine doing it any other way. It is a language of my own.
