MUMA - Cristales 14 (XL)

The series “Crystals” presents itself as a territory of tension between transparency and superimposition, between the visible and that which remains suspended. Geometric shapes, seemingly precise and rational, cease to be closed structures to 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 by themselves, but in relation to others. The work is thus 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 the 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 moments, but as traces, displacements or memories of movement. The superposition of planes recalls that all human experience is made up of accumulative strata: memories, emotions, perceptions and relationships that intertwine without entirely disappearing.

In Crystals, geometry ceases to be merely 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 and Designer and an Art Historian, both trained at CEU San Pablo University in Madrid. Their artistic practice centers on the visual arts, with special 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 visual arts in Madrid, with participations in competitions.
