Words by Maite Muñoz. The approach to Santeri’s paintings is aesthetically pleasing for their subtlety, clarity and beauty. The simple forms are striking, the result of the direct, unhesitating but delicate action of a spray that seems to caress the canvas. A closer look reveals the associations of more or less recognizable forms from an […]

In recent times, especially during the pandemic, Maru Quiñonero, far from her group compositions of combined colors, began to draw solitary and monochrome figures.

Studying the path of several of the most notable artists in the history of art, it is not unusual to find an abstract artist who, ironically, began his career with an almost perfect mastery of figuration.

An essay by Catalan poet Juan Bufill. I hesitated whether to title this text The beauty of the strange, because the word beauty has connotations perhaps undesirable in this case.

In 1985, I was one more unpublished fiction writer in New York City. To pay the rent, I was teaching, or failing to teach, college freshmen to write comprehensible essays, and I was grossly underpaid. So it was only by living on raw carrots and rotgut Jim Beam that I had managed to hoard enough […]
