Núria Guinovart
Barcelona, Spain
Núria Guinovart, a self-taught artist was born in Barcelona in 1961.
Her work is linked to contemporary abstraction, her compositions use neutral colours, mainly ranging from greys to greens, blues and lilacs. A textural richness is achieved through her principal material, industrial cement, which is skillfully used to express fragility and lightness.
The cement is carefully layered to create forms. In spite of the aspect of hardness, the result is sensitive, elegant, poetic, filling silent spaces and portraying emotions.
