About
Lives and works in Cassà de la Selva, Spain
Lídia Masllorens has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, specialising in painting, sculpture and printmaking. She is also skilled at photography, etching, and large-scale sculpture. Her creative work focuses on close-ups, fundamentally women’s, with very expressive rostros and gazes, revealing of the model’s inner world. In 2013 she received the ‘Premio de la Fundació VIla Casas’ prize, this year marks the start of her international career, exhibiting in multiple art fairs and contemporary art galleries in Europe as well as in America.
“I am drawn to a moderate, not total, abstraction. An image that remains in that specific transition of creation that allows the observer to interpret the painting precisely. But one that also allows the opportunity to sense implicit realities, to recreate what you have created. In short, to dream […]. Yes, I paint faces. I paint faces because portraits have always fascinated me. One look is more telling than two hundred words.”
