AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The series "Cristales" presents itself as a territory of tension between transparency and superposition, between the visible and that which remains in suspension. The geometric shapes, seemingly precise and rational, cease to be closed structures and become permeable bodies, traversed by light, color, and gaze. There is here no cold or normative geometry; each plane seems to shift, float, or dematerialize in a space that never fully stabilizes.

The crystal functions as a philosophical metaphor of contemporary perception: an element capable of reflecting, refracting, and fragmenting reality simultaneously. The translucent layers produce unexpected chromatic encounters, generating new forms that do not exist on their own, but in relation to others. The work is thus built from the idea that all identity is relational and mutable, never fixed nor absolute. Each color modifies the other; each plane alters the reading of space. What we see always depends on the position from which we look.

The void does not act as absence, but as a field of possibility. In this sense, painting dialogues with a phenomenological conception of space: the image does not represent an object, but a perceptual experience in constant transformation.

The transparencies also introduce a reflection on time. The forms do not appear as definitive instants, but as traces, displacements, or memories of movement. The superposition of planes recalls that all human experience is composed of accumulative strata: memories, emotions, perceptions, and relationships that interlace without disappearing entirely.

In Cristales, geometry ceases to be solely a language of order to become a sensitive structure. The work proposes a slow contemplation, where the gaze discovers that reality is not compact or stable, but fragile, changing, and traversed by multiple transparencies. Each intersection reveals that every truth always contains other latent possibilities.

About MUMA:

MUMA is an artistic duo formed by a Generalist 3D Designer and an Art Historian, both trained at Universidad CEU San Pablo in Madrid. Their artistic practice focuses on the plastic arts, with special interest in color, movement, and the dynamism of forms, as well as variations of the environment. Their work is conceived to integrate into space and establish a direct dialogue with routine and human experience, exploring a vital vision tied to the ideals of Impressionism, such as the relationship with nature, color, and changing environments. MUMA is linked to the professional world of digital and plastic arts in Madrid, with participation in competitions.

About preparation, packaging, and shipping of the artwork:

The work is hand-signed by the artistic duo and includes a certificate of authenticity also signed by them. The canvas, rolled, is carefully packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube and will be shipped within three business days after purchase confirmation. The estimated delivery time will depend on the destination and the selected shipping company.
