About this artwork

When I had the page that had to inspire me to create my artwork for the virtual exhibition Door to Door UK & Europe on the Art Aviso website on my hands, I took a deep breath. I was really looking forward to starting this new project, I was very excited.

My page was taken from Newnes’ Pictorial Knowledge Encyclopedia, volume 3, of The History of the World and Its Peoples. Its title: A library in chains. Where would it take me? It transported me 250 years ago.

Everything was very different, yes, but there are things that will never change. My art work reflects what reality should be like in the world we live in. Without prejudice, in a world without chains. That is how I wanted to express it and that is what I want to communicate. Maybe it’s a utopia but that’s how I wish it were reality.

About Mariona

I am a restless and very curious person. I find it hard to be idle. I like to experiment because I know it always leads me to enjoy, create, play with materials, shapes and colors. I always enjoy what I do and on a canvas, the possibilities are endless.

I like the effect of working with fabric. Volume, perspective and a different point of view. From time to time, I work with other materials like cotton thread. Hardening the materials gives me the opportunity to immortalize my works, created at the right time.

I am lucky to live surrounded by nature and tranquility in Alt Penedès, in Catalonia. Land of beautiful vineyards and fantastic landscapes that change every day. A land full of inspiration that makes me live fully and with the illusion of being able to express what I feel and in the moment I need it, through my art works.
