"Boîte-en-valise 16 (MOMA)" Painting

Conceptually, this painting is inspired by Marcel Duchamp's "La Boîte-en-Valise," a miniature museum that offers a retrospective of his work and redefined the role of the artist as both creator and curator. In the painting, his work is set on a beach of unknown location, seemingly "crowned" with the word "MOMA." I hope viewers understand that there is a narrative in Art History that addresses artists who have created their own museums, such as Marcel Duchamp (Boîte-en-valise), Robert Filliou (Galerie Légitime), and Marcel Broodthaers (Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles). The Davis Museum Barcelona, founded in 2009, continues this narrative but with its own character, closely linked to social media and, consequently, to the contemporary digital world.
