MUMA - Cristales (XL)

The series "Crystals" presents itself as a territory of tension between transparency and overlap, between the visible and what remains suspended. The geometric shapes, apparently precise and rational, stop being closed structures to become permeable bodies, traversed by light, color, and the gaze. There is no cold or normative geometry here; each plane seems to move, 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. Translucent layers produce unexpected chromatic encounters, generating new forms that do not exist by themselves, but in relation to others. The work is built from the idea that all 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 intense blue background operates as an expansive, almost immaterial dimension, on which the figures seem suspended in a state of unstable balance. The void does not act as absence, but as a field of possibility. In this sense, the 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 intertwine 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 gaze discovers that reality is not compact or stable, but fragile, changing, and traversed by multiple transparencies. Each intersection reveals that all truth always contains other latent possibilities.

About MUMA:

MUMA is an artistic duo formed by a Generalist 3D and Designer and a History of Art, both trained at the CEU San Pablo University in Madrid. Their artistic practice centers on the plastic arts, with special interest in color, movement, and the dynamism of shapes, as well as in the 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 linked to the professional world of digital and plastic arts in Madrid, with participation in competitions.

About preparation, packaging, and shipping of the work:

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 chosen shipping company.
