The artist Gemma Alpuente, trained in Fine Arts and CRBBBCC by the Faculty of San Carlos (UPV), develops a very personal pop-street style, through which projects works of bright colors accompanied by different planimetries and visual register. He contemplates the pictorial matter as the main motif of the work based on his own experimental process, where, through chemical procedures, it acquires volume and presence in the three-dimensional space. In his work, the canvas becomes an anecdotal element and painting, which has always needed this support to coexist in space, plays with the laws of gravity in a compositional impossibility. Transcending the concept of painting through matter, the strident hallmarks of acid chromaticism, volumetry, and kitsch-oniric aesthetics, the traditional is elevated to the most current contemporary pictorial synthesis. This particular piece, due to its magnificence, chromatisms and composition, envelops the viewer and opens the doors to a reflective, almost meditative space. When observing the work we enter a temporal frame of a dreamlike landscape, where the frozen movement that evokes the direction of the brushstrokes and the compositional balance of the elements that make up the work of art; stop time in a pictorial instant.
The trajectory and development of the artist Gemma Alpuente has led her to make the leap to the national and international market, being considered as a "red-chip" artist.
