Description from the seller
The series “Crystals” presents itself as a territory of tension between transparency and superposition, between the visible and what remains suspended. The geometric shapes, seemingly precise and rational, cease to be closed structures to become permeable bodies, traversed by light, color, and gaze. There is no cold or normative geometry here; each plane seems to shift, float, or dematerialize in a space that never fully stabilizes.
The crystal works 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 by themselves, but in relation to others. The work is thus built from the idea that every identity is relational and mutable, never fixed or 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 reminds us that all human experience is composed of accumulative strata: memories, emotions, perceptions, and relationships that interweave without entirely disappearing.
In Crystals, geometry ceases to be solely a language of order to become a sensitive structure. The work proposes a slow contemplation, where the viewer discovers that reality is not compact or stable, but fragile, changeable, 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 3D Generalist and Designer and an Art Historian, both trained at CEU San Pablo University in Madrid. Their artistic practice focuses on the visual arts, with particular interest in color, movement, and the dynamism of forms, as well as in 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 linked 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.
