"I have always been fascinated by X-rays, by their peculiar texture and above all by the fact that they portray the interior, that which is unseen to the naked eye. In the same way, I have tried to reflect in these works the inner sense of the changes that I experiment — the silent but steady fall of the body." The cold X-ray feel of the bodies painted on acrylic reveal the impulse to distance oneself from this crude reality. However, the velvety texture of the pigment on the acrylic returns to us the closeness of skin, the personal and subjective contact with this truth in the ageing body. It is not by distancing ourselves from things that their sense is revealed, but by welcoming them. Mireia has led us to this place, but her attitude towards life also tells us how to transit through it. For, once here, we realize that what initially looked black, opaque, negative, in reality is a space of deep blues, filled with luminous darkness. This is how, far from eliciting rebellion and opposition, her art opens a gate to the mystery of life, and, in this series also, a gate to the mystery of death, which is inevitably linked to life.

Mireia Cifuentes was born in La Seu d’Urgell, in the province of Lleida (Spain), in 1966. She spent part of her life in Marbella, southern Spain, and traveled around Europe and Asia until she settled down in Barcelona to start her artistic career at Escola d’Art Sanvisens (Art School). Her first few years of learning were devoted to human portrait. She attended the Artistic Circle of Sant Lluc, where she was awarded the top category of the Young Painters Awards and a runner-up prize at the 24th Drawing Awards. While she attended lessons by well-known Spanish painters such as Gloria Muñoz and Teresa Llacer, she completed her studies with sculpture techniques at the Art and Skills School. She was selected by the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia for her first individual exhibition at art gallery Lola Anglada. After a few years of figurative work she focuses mostly on abstract painting and the discovery of new techniques to enrich her work. Always curious and enthusiastic, Mireia keeps exploring life through art.
