Coinciding with the centenary of her birth, Fundació Vila Casas presents an anthological exhibition of Maria Girona (Barcelona, 1923–2015), curated by Victòria Combalia and Àlex Susanna. It which aims to help us discover her work and contribute to giving the artist the recognition she deserves; not just a non-academic rereading of Noucentisme but also an extraordinarily refined expression of a Mediterranean imaginary focused on visual stimuli from her personal magic triangle: Barcelona, Cadaqués and Calaceite.

To a certain extent, her painting, from a starting point of Fauvism, draws upon many lessons from Cubism before becoming fully contemporary in its own right through a very personal, stylized and effective lyricism. 

The contemporary art exhibition Contemporania de Si Mateixa aims to challenge traditional artistic norms, as well as provoke critical thinking and discussion among viewers on technology and environmental issues.
