A child carved out of clay is asleep on a rock of paper, gold and wool. The materials are natural and soft. They protect and wrap the body naked and curled up. The size and curves of the sculpture evoke the small Mingqi statuettes of the Tang Dynasty in China. Like a little deity, neither woman nor child. His face is also reminiscent of Constantin Brancusi's "Sleeping Muse". He is totally serene. Nothing can happen to her. Une enfant sculptée dans l'argile est endormie sur un rocher de papier, d'or et de laine. Les matériaux sont naturels et doux. Ils protègent et enveloppent le corps nu recroquevillé. La taille et les courbes de la sculpture évoquent les petites statuettes Mingqi de la dynastie Tang en Chine. Comme une petite divinité, ni femme ni enfant. Son visage rappelle également celui de "Sleeping Muse" de Constantin Brancusi. Il est totalement serein. Rien ne peut lui arriver.

Japan
The practice of Idoia Zubia is mobile, it flourishes in the diversity of materials as gestures, and often proceeds from assembly processes. Very often, the creation is triggered by the synaesthesia that causes a sound work and the work is done in music. Her paintings and drawings mainly feature female figures with floating identities. The sets are evanescent and the vegetation fuses with the bodies. The faces are pale, surrounded by chromatic ambiances anchored in deep blues or soothing pastels. The lines and patterns undulate organically and create a link between the different techniques and media used: pencil, pastels, watercolor, acrylic, oil ... Idoia Zubia likes to dialogue these figures with a work of abstraction. Another part of his work is organized in vibrating circles, obtained in a regular and repetitive gesture, using pigments and brushes. These circular forms, reminiscences cellular or cosmogonic, can be presented alone or juxtapose to a painting or a sculpture, and thus transform the original story. More recent, the work of the volume and the masks translated the artist's desire to bring out the figures of the frame and intensify their presence through delicate additions matieristes, based on earth, wool or wood. These masks are also a vector of voice for Idoia Zubia: since 2017, she combines her singing with a monumental mural mask, which hides a sensor and a system of sound diffusion. This musical dimension, and the spirituality that accompanies it, opens up new research perspectives, attentive to the performance and the theatricalization of objects.
