Nuria Maria

Growing up in a family of artists, Nuria Maria has been immersed in art from a young age. After multiple visits to Italy, surrounded by incredible paintings, churches, and frescos, Nuria decided to study what she loves most in life: art. In her early career, Nuria’s paintings were predominantly figurative, experimenting also with music and video installations. Since then, her work has grown increasingly abstract, attempting to capture the atmosphere of a certain moment, a day in the season, a memory, or a certain type of light. The colours carry the atmosphere and the interaction between subjects: they attract or push, float, fall, fly or are 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." 

Nuria’s work captures a moment to the core. It is about love, home, and the landscapes we find ourselves in. She seeks to capture the essence of a moment in time, the music we hear when we are alone, when we drive, walk, think, travel, miss, or when we want to get somewhere; the comfort of arriving wherever we feel at home.
