This new exhibition offers a new twist to her voluptuous and colorful practice. Through her works, de Juan reveals the splendor of flowers, these authentic ephemeral jewels of nature that follow their own laws and rhythms, alien to ours. They provide valuable lessons and encourage reflection on time and trust. Slow processes become beautiful in their continuous contemplation.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, F\u00e1tima\u2019s women pass on a message of serenity and self-care. Their relaxed eyes and sheathed nails spread the peace that comes from stopping the fight when starting a new phase. Deep in their \u201cFlower fortress\u201d (2023), they transport us to a state of contemplation and connection with nature, recalling the importance of stopping and appreciating the natural environment within chaos. The fight is over.<\/p>\n

F\u00e1tima de Juan\u2019s artworks spark sensitivity and invite us to immerse ourselves in a world where nature and imagination are intertwined. They remind of the importance of caring for and appreciating our environment, as well as cultivating our own transformation and inner growth. On this occasion, F\u00e1tima enters a garden of sensations where nature becomes a catalyst for personal evolution. In the midst of a fast-paced world, these paintings invite us to stop, breathe and allow ourselves to flourish in our own authenticity. They give us a moment of introspection and connection to what is essential, inspiring us to embrace our florescence and find beauty in the small details of life.<\/p>\n

\nHer first contact with the world of painting was through graffiti as a teenager under the alias \u201cXena\u201d. Years later she studied Illustration at the School of Arts and Crafts in Palma and Graphic Design in Madrid.<\/p>\n

The woman is a constant in all her work; a strong woman, with large arms, exuberant features and claws, a reflection of an attitude that exudes femininity, sweetness and brute strength. Nature, the exotic, the primitive, the naive, the erotic, the tropical, fantasy and magic coexist in her personal universe through vivid colours and velvety textures that give her an almost real and na\u00efve dimension at the same time. Ancestral elements such as fruits, pitchers, stones, swords\u2026 coexist with more \u201caesthetic\u201d, street and futuristic elements that make up the artist\u2019s dreamlike imaginary, full of contrasts and sweetly aggressive self-portraits.<\/p>\n
