{"title":"MARINA PARES SOLIVA","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Barcelona in 1957, I am a self-taught visual artist specializing in acrylic painting and mixed media. My work is a personal exploration of landscapes and natural textures, drawing upon Impressionism and Expressionism. I aim to capture not merely the image of a setting, but the atmosphere and energy conveyed by the natural world. I also use abstract art to express emotions. I love combining cool and warm tones—a signature element of my style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI like to add a physical dimension to my pieces, which is why I incorporate mixed media; using textures and relief allows me to emulate the density of sea foam, the ruggedness of coastal rocks, and the sand of the beach. Through these seascapes, I invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a sensory experience, evoking the sound, movement, and vastness of the ocean horizon. I am fascinated by the ocean's duality: its capacity to convey profound calm alongside an unleashed, ever-changing power. Recently, I have begun experimenting with watercolor painting. I generally work in my studio, drawing inspiration from my memories and photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy work has been exhibited internationally in various art galleries, primarily across Europe (Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Basel, Cologne, Milan, and Palma), as well as in the Americas (Miami, Quebec, Granada) and Asia (Dubai).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"galaxia-1","title":"GALAXIA","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work, titled Galàxia, proposes a journey into the realm of cosmic abstraction and textural exploration, thematically connecting with pieces like Boreal in its fascination with the skies and the universe, but with a much more gestural and informalist language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central circular mass in shades of purple, blue, and violet evokes a nebula, a cosmic eye in a galaxy in formation, floating in the void.

I painted a strip of intense pink and reddish color that acts as a visual separator. This color choice is bold, as it breaks with the naturalism of the landscape and provides a very strong emotional vibration that was my goal. The combination of the turquoise blue of the water with the magenta\/pink of the earth creates a contrast of complementary (or almost complementary) colors that makes the horizon line seem to \"vibrate\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal is not to copy a photograph of the sea, but to convey the \"feeling\" of the storm in the distance. The painting wants to generate a sense of tense calm. While the sea and sky have cool, calm tones, the central reddish stripe suggests that \"something is happening\" on the horizon, creating a contained energy in the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARINA PARES SOLIVA","offers":[{"title":"46x32x0cm","offer_id":57329938825540,"sku":"cd8eded5-9cc4-4806-8d2e-a1fa5f502ef5","price":80.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/3989\/7668\/files\/image_22108aec-0210-4d11-8add-5176ab083b3c.webp?v=1790336446"},{"product_id":"hong-kong-2025","title":"HONG KONG 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work, titled Hong Kong 2025, evokes the fire that ravaged the city in 2025 and is possibly one of the most powerful, expressive, and mature pieces in my entire expressionist catalog. I have abandoned the more figurative or traditional style to delve into urban expressionism, with a striking use of materials and color, such as the reds of the fire and the black of the smoke.

This is an interesting work that lies between expressionist landscape painting and geometric abstraction. It has a vibrant energy and a freedom of line that speaks volumes about the emotional intention I had in creating it.
