Gemma Alpuente

This series is presented as an interplay of textures and colors that may recall coral formations. This tendency we have to seek references in nature leads us to recognize patterns even in abstraction. But "Fluid Nature" goes further: it is a metaphor for the human desire to go against one's own nature. The work captures a succession of moments, movements, and transformations that have been fixed, like a condensed vision of what constitutes our existence. Each mass of color is time. It is matter that has been alive, in motion, changing state (from liquid to solid), density, expanding and transforming until it is recorded as is. Therefore, rather than representing time, it contains it. It is not an illusion of stopped movement, but its real, material, and visible trace. In a way, the work invites us to think of time as something that, although seemingly impossible, can be stopped and preserved in fragments.

This series arises from a need for expansion, to take matter beyond the space that normally contains it. Two- and three-dimensional painting ceases to depend on a concrete support and opens up, moves, as if gesture and matter had a life of their own. In a way, it jumps from one canvas to another, moves freely through space, and ends up materializing in different forms. The form, dimensions, texture, and dynamism of each mass of color respond to a precise moment: the moment when the material's reaction stops and becomes fixed.

"Inner emotions" is a project developed from immersive experience or "automatic creation." In it, the artist explores introspection through color and painting, mainly in two dimensions, although some pieces suggest a transition towards three-dimensionality. It is a deeply intimate work, born from the vital impulse to channel emotions without conditions, through a free, meditative, and therapeutic process. The pieces reveal what we rarely manage to express in words: longed-for beauty or dreamt landscapes of unreal worlds, constructed by superimposed flashes of color. Began in 2021 with "Inner clouds" and followed that same year by "Inner forest" (both in private collection), the series currently has 11 works.

After a period without painting, Gemma Alpuente found herself surrounded by pent-up emotions and clay in her studio, feeling on the verge of creative suffocation. She sought an open space, a lot in the industrial estate, and let herself be carried away by the material and the urgency to express herself. From this impulse, the pieces of Invisible Weaving were born, a series that arises from extreme experiences and where the intangible—the energy that connects people—is revealed as essential. The series vindicates art as a language of the soul: an emotional fabric that connects the intimate with the collective and sustains in adversity.

In this series of small resin formats, Gemma Alpuente captures expanding matter. Color moves and transforms within its own limits until it freezes at a precise instant, where form, texture, and gesture remain suspended.

This series is born from direct experience with the DANA (Depression Isolated by Low-pressure Area) and, for now, is manifested in two works. One of them incorporates mud—stabilized—as a visible and material presence; the other arises from the transformation of previous works (created between 2014 and 2025) that were damaged and could not be preserved for health reasons. Far from disappearing, these pieces find a new form: the work is reconstructed from its "healthy" fragments, retaining the memory of what happened within. The series thus speaks of loss, but also of resistance and continuity, where matter not only registers the impact but also transcends it and reconfigures itself.

In this series, the frame ceases to be a limit that encloses the work. Together with the painting, it becomes both container and content, integrating into the creative action itself. The canvas as a support disappears, and the work is articulated solely through painting, exploring materiality, gesture, and the expansion of space beyond its borders.
