MUMA (XX) - Retrato interior 01

'Interior Portrait' is presented as a web of shapes and colors that engage in dialogue with each other in a space that does not fully belong to visible reality. The shapes, although they suggest recognizable elements, do not represent anything concrete: they do not exist as real objects, but as presences that exist side by side, construct one another, and support one another. They are organic entities that seem to have to exist in order to gain meaning, as if their existence depends on that shared balance.

Even without appearing in nature, these forms evoke fragments of the human: an implied face, a vague gaze, the curve of a nose or the expression of an inner feeling. It is not about a physical portrait, but about an emotional and psychological portrait, in which identity arises from the sum of feelings rather than from defined features.

The use of flat colors reinforces this idea of synthesis and clarity, yet away from rigidity, the palette organizes itself into a delicate harmony that simultaneously conveys calm, tension, and depth. The colors do not describe, but suggest states, memories, and emotions, and create a visual language that speaks to the human experience from the ineffable.

Together the work invites us to look inward, to acknowledge that inner world which is rarely visible or easily perceivable. 'Retrato interior' shows not what we are on the outside, but that which quietly forms us: layers of thought, emotion, and memory that, just like the shapes of the painting, only fully exist when they come together and complement each other.

Over MUMA:

MUMA is an artistic duo consisting of a Generalist 3D Designer and an Art Historian, both trained at Universidad CEU San Pablo in Madrid. Their artistic practice focuses on the visual arts, with particular attention to color, movement and the dynamics of forms, as well as variations in the environment. Their work is designed to integrate into space and engage in a direct dialogue with routine and human experience, as they explore a vivid vision connected to the ideals of Impressionism, such as the relationship with nature, color and changing environments.

MUMA is connected to the professional world of digital and plastic arts in Madrid, with participation in competitions, including a prize in the Proyecto Tercer Paraíso of the Fondazione Pistoletto.
