Adri Q - XL - El Tiempo de Alicia

Adri Q is a young Afro-Cuban artist born in Cuba who is currently based and working in Alicante, Spain, living and working in El Campello, Alicante, whose painting begins at the meeting point between illustration, geometry, and a deeply contemporary sensibility. Through acrylic on canvas, she has developed a recognizable visual language, characterized by the use of intense colors, flat surfaces, geometric structures, and a rich succession of graphic patterns that turn each composition into a dynamic universe that is easily identifiable.

Her work moves freely between figuration and abstraction. At times it starts from recognizable scenes — musicians, women, dancers, Mediterranean landscapes, animals or characters belonging to the collective imagination — only to fragment them and reconstruct them through color blocks, visual rhythms, and decorative elements. In other works, geometry takes on a greater protagonism and the figure seems to emerge from the very structure of color.

One of the most interesting features of her work is precisely this ability to maintain a constant identity within a very broad thematic. The Mediterranean, music, nature, literature, fantasy, and everyday life coexist within the same plastic universe. Her scenes can be intimate, playful, or contemplative, but almost always retain a sense of optimism, movement, and luminosity.

Color does not function solely as a decorative element: it is one of the main emotional drivers of her painting. Deep blues, reds, yellows, purples, and turquoise are combined through direct contrasts and clearly delineated surfaces, generating compositions with a strong visual impact. In her musical works, for example, geometry seems to become rhythm; in her Mediterranean landscapes, light; and in the fantastical scenes, a gateway to an imaginary world.

The works currently circulating on Catawiki also show a good reception within the market for accessible contemporary art. Her compositions have been selected by various experts on the platform, and pieces with themes as diverse as jazz, Mediterranean scenes, or fantastic figures maintain a visually recognizable identity.

That progressive recognition is especially interesting in an artist who is still building her career. Collecting her work means approaching a young language, decoratively powerful and already sufficiently defined to distinguish itself with ease: a particularly valuable quality in a contemporary landscape where developing an own voice constitutes one of the greatest challenges for any emerging artist.

Adri Q builds, in short, a joyful, sophisticated, and slightly magical pictorial world: a place where everyday reality can transform into geometry, music, fantasy, and color.

This acrylic on canvas work reinterprets the literary universe of Alice in Wonderland, depicting Alice at a serene tea-hour beside the White Rabbit with his pocket watch, while the enigmatic silhouette of the Cheshire Cat watches from the top. Executed in a vibrant Neo-Pop style with influences from illustrative art and synthetic Cubism, the composition stands out for its dominant cobalt blue and ultramarine tones, dynamically contrasting with accents of red, yellow, white, and the protagonist’s copper hair. The scene incorporates floating playing cards, a classic tea set, and rich patterns of visual textures in the background, creating a pictorial proposal that balances the nostalgia of the classic tale with a modern, playful, and highly sophisticated formal aesthetic.
