About The Artwork

Mirar un cráneo despierta cierta incomodidad pero si persistimos en nuestra mirada veremos verdad y belleza. Me preguntan a menudo porque me gusta pintar cráneos y puedo responder con otra pregunta ¿por qué no puedo dejar de pintarlos? A pesar de ser un objeto sólido y resistente al paso del tiempo su visión nos recuerda la fragilidad y lo efímero de nuestra existencia. Dejando a un lado la angustia que despierta este hecho en nosotros, podemos apreciar la belleza de sus formas e ir más allá de la respuesta involuntaria de nuestro instinto de supervivencia. Ante el "memento mori: recuerda la muerte, recuerda que morirás" podemos activar nuestra capacidad de reflexión en torno a la transcendencia, un hecho que nos invita a cuestionar los límites entre la vida y lo que llamamos no vida, creencias profundamente arraigadas herencia de nuestra cultura occidental que nos han condicionado a percibir el tiempo solo de manera lineal. En 1997 encontré por primera vez un cráneo de oveja, paseando por los campos de un pequeño pueblo en la provincia de Guadalajara, me impactó mucho verlo y tocarlo, una mezcla de atracción y repulsión hizo bullir en mi cerebro todo tipo de cuestiones existenciales, había vivido poco tiempo antes una experiencia que me enfrentó cara a cara con la posibilidad de morir por lo que era muy sensible a todo lo relacionado con la finitud y sentido de la vida. Desde entonces han ido apareciendo cráneos en mi camino, el último lo encontré la pasada Navidad en el Pirineo, toda esta serie está inspirada en mi pequeña colección.

Mireia Cifuentes was born in La Seu d’Urgell, in the province of Lleida (Spain), in 1966. She spent part of her life in Marbella, southern Spain, and traveled around Europe and Asia until she settled down in Barcelona to start her artistic career at Escola d’Art Sanvisens (Art School). Her first few years of learning were devoted to human portrait. She attended the Artistic Circle of Sant Lluc, where she was awarded the top category of the Young Painters Awards and a runner-up prize at the 24th Drawing Awards. While she attended lessons by well-known Spanish painters such as Gloria Muñoz and Teresa Llacer, she completed her studies with sculpture techniques at the Art and Skills School. She was selected by the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia for her first individual exhibition at art gallery Lola Anglada. After a few years of figurative work she focuses mostly on abstract painting and the discovery of new techniques to enrich her work. Always curious and enthusiastic, Mireia keeps exploring life through art.
