“Con ruido, no veo. El silencio es unidad.”
Maru Quiñonero returns again and again to one of her favorite Spanish writers, Juan Ramon Jimenez. "Con ruido, no veo" is one of his aphorisms from the Ideology volume, Maru's bedside book that she always consults when writing about her own work. Of course, the title chosen for this show winks at the synesthesia that she has experienced since she was a child. A kind of brain connection that mixes senses and sensations involuntarily and that makes her see and feel colors in words and their phonemes.
In this new body of work, Maru wants to represent, through a paler color palette, and even simpler compositions, the vital stage in which she finds herself, in which, above all, quiet prevails. She makes an emotional use of color again in order to transmit beyond mere evocation. She wants the viewer to be moved by the vast painting surfaces and explores again the complexity of the simplicity so characteristic of her work.
