RetroSpecter

The “Retrospecter” project consists of a series of large format works painted in oil and/or mixed media, which delve into the decontextualisation between the characters and their surroundings. She try to imagine a mismatch between the subjects of the past, focusing on the 1960s-1980s, illusorily (mis)placed in a possible present-day Barcelona. She is interested in playing with the idea of how these characters, who were part of a specific time and place, (mis)fit harmoniously into a recent and disfigured environment. In this sense, the incoherence between the ancient subjects and modern Barcelona also points to the contemporary aesthetic imbalance between the current environment and the very elements of that environment.
