Lucía Mir

Statement

I began my training as an artist in 2018 at the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos (Polytechnic University of Valencia), specialising in oil painting and drawing. The sense I give to my work today revolves around a persistent curiosity for the representation of spaces or an illusory and dreamlike spatial framework that questions the weak border between fiction and reality. I work with the exploration of intimacy in silent spaces and the intrinsic metaphysics of represented and transformed objects. All these aspects are related to the value of what remains hidden, what is revealed and then vanishes in a constant play of appearances and disappearances.

GlogauAIR Project

This project will present recognisable objects that form part of the collective imaginary. Through these elements, we will be immersed in a narrative characterised by the lack of a clearly defined beginning and end. The work resembles a fragmented story, something like a tale babbled in parts, with episodes that intertwine and others that resemble fleeting scenes that might evoke memories or images from our dreams. In these works, the aim is to provoke a sense of unease in the viewer by creating scenarios that stimulate the imagination, transforming the very materiality of what is represented. It is from the recreation of a simple and silent environment that we can begin to create all the stories or images from which we want to obtain something surprising.
