NURIA MARIA

At first Nuria’s paintings were more figurative, then slowly the subjects became more and more abstract, while the weather has always been a significant part of her works. The artis attempts to capture the atmosphere of a certain moment, a day in the season, a memory, a certain type of light. The colours carry the atmosphere and the interaction between the subjects: they attract or push, float, fall, fly or are being blown out of the painting itself.

‘I can work with colours as a starting point, or a certain rhythm with forms, but it is the feeling that I have about exactly that moment and sentiment that I want to reflect and that is always more important than the purely visible state of the painting’ she explains.

This is why it can take either one day or a whole month to get the canvas exactly the way Nuria needs it to be; she can find it pretty, but it must catch a moment in the core. Her work is about love, home, and the landscapes we find ourselves in. There is an undertone throughout of the music we hear when we are alone, when we drive, when we walk, when we think, when we travel, when we miss, when we want to get somewhere. To get there in that place; that feld where we feel home: where you - come here.
