MARIONA ESPINET












"ABSTRACT PAINTING, LIKE ARCHITECTURE, SPEAKS TO US ABOUT SURFACES THAT INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER."
Painting is a profoundly expressive medium that offers Mariona Espinet a rare and powerful opportunity to immerse herself in the subtle, intangible qualities of architectural essence. Through her artistic practice, she delves deeply into the emotional resonance that shapes, volumes, and colors can evoke within us, engaging our senses in a unique dialogue. In her abstract paintings, she captures something akin to the language of architecture itself; her work embodies the dynamic interactions and relationships between surfaces that converge to form a vivid representation of space. This visual language invites viewers to perceive space in a manner that speaks directly to our emotions, bypassing words and intellectual frameworks.
Unlike architects or designers, who are often bound by the technicalities of tangible, physical constraints in their attempts to project spatial ideas, painting allows Espinet an extraordinary freedom from these limitations. Her medium opens up a world of infinite possibilities, unanchored from the strictures of the physical world, enabling her to explore dimensions that architecture might only hint at. This sense of unbounded creative freedom permits her to reshape, expand, or compress formal elements, generating spaces that are both harmonious and strikingly unique. Each work has the potential to reveal new spatial relationships or emotional atmospheres that, through their abstract qualities, captivate the viewer’s imagination, inviting them to experience an evocative and profoundly personal interpretation of space. Through painting, Espinet not only constructs visual worlds but also offers viewers an invitation to step into these imagined realms, making each piece a distinctive journey into the interplay of form, color, and volume.
