Jaume Muñoz (2025) - silence is sexy

PAITING ON PLYWOOD

This painting belongs to my collection 'Landscapes of emerging universes', a series of large-format canvases and paper works from 2025. They are abstract landscapes that explore the vastness of inner universes, in resonance with outer galaxies.
My references are abstract painters such as Pollock, Kandinski or Miró, as well as the photographs of outer space published by NASA.
My training is more literary than artistic, and there is a stylistic device that has always fascinated me: synecdoche. It is the extended or restricted use of words, taking the whole for the part or the part for the whole. I apply this device to my pictorial creation, thinking that human beings, in their smallness, contain an infinitesimal part of the infinite expansion of galaxies.
The landscapes are accompanied by words taken from songs and poems. In this case, the title is taken from a song by Einstürzende Neubauten.

Unique and original painting.
Signed and dated by the artist.
It is sent without a frame or border.
The gallery photos are mock-ups to give an idea of how the framed painting might look hanging in different environments.
Colors on the screen may vary slightly from the actual colors of the paint.
