MUMA - Cristales 08 (XL)

The series “Crystals” presents itself as a territory of tension between transparency and superposition, between what is visible and what remains suspended. The geometric shapes, seemingly precise and rational, stop being closed structures to become permeable bodies, crossed 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 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 constructed 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.

emptiness 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.

Transparency also introduces a reflection on time. 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 solely a language of order to become a sensitive structure. The work invites 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 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 visual arts in Madrid, with participation in competitions.
