Marta Lapeña

The works of Marta Lapeña (Soria, 1993) recreate everyday scenes that suggest calm and tranquillity, in contrast to today's world full of over-information and visual stimuli. Distractions that influence both when observing and feeling and when creating calmly from the most instinctive and natural part of the human being. This is the artist's starting point: her instinct. With it she mutates the levels of reality to which we are constantly subjected and turns painting into an escape route and a means to evoke her own reality.

Finding beauty in what surrounds us and defining the moment simply with objects through painting are Marta Lapeña's two great obsessions. Her compositions, generated from elements that she finds, collects and photographs, have certain characteristics that make them unique: the moment (the light), the place (the space) and her aesthetic patterns (the vision), three constants in her creative process. Both technique and composition never cease to be a concern in his works, in a constant search for harmony, where he also combines two different worlds under the same process: the canvas and the wall; the street and the studio. Hence her inclination for the large format and for the synthesis of colour, a clear influence of her training as an interior architect, reflected in the compositions and integration in the environment.
