Cristina de Miguel (ES)
The female protagonists in Cristina de Miguel’s (b. 1987) energetic and expressive works surf, dance, do yoga and perform exorcisms, even the ones lounging appear to be in action. Empowered radiant women, feeling freedom in their bodies. The sensation of motion is amplified by de Miguel’s painterly gestures. In her new suite of large-scale drawings, you experience freedom. The sensation you get when you do activities that makes you feel free, be it dancing, yoga, surfing, running, skating, meditating, watching the sun rise or painting. The euphoria of being present in the moment. Freedom in form and being.
