This exhibition of the work of Fina Miralles strives to challenge viewers' notions of temporality and provoke reflections on the nature of existence and human consciousness. Her work explores what the eyes do not see, yet which the artist helps us perceive. Her compositional structures create a circular vision in a cosmogonic movement in which everything is related to everything else.

Among these works, we find landscapes that make up a cosmocentric view of the world and draw the beauty of a universe of analogies whereby the earth, atmosphere, sky, firmament and human beings become orbits of interrelated energy. In addition to the landscapes, the figure runs through the whole of Fina Miralles’ pictorial corpus, with images that recall the common indigenous past of all humankind, and the presence of the biological mother. We also find a gallery of mythological beings that summon from the ancestral power of the totem to the spirit of the forest, of the day and the night, or endow an image to the flowering of the plant kingdom.

The exhibition ends with the cycle of works entitled Memorial, made in 1996, which the artist defines as “a journey from light towards light." With these canvases, Fina Miralles closes the circle of life and art she had begun in 1973. Catch this astonishing retrospective at the Fundació Vila Casas.
