Spanish visual artist and illustrator Cinta Vidal Agulló creates the encapsulated scenes of intersecting perspectives and un-gravity.
She paints with acrylic paint on wood panels and refers to the paintings as “un-gravity constructions”. Each piece examines how a person’s internal perspective of life may not match up with the reality around them.
Her artwork might remind you a Dutch graphic artist’s Maurits Cornelis Escher’s work of the endless stairs and the worlds, which he drew as an impossible objects.
“With these un-gravity constructions, I want to show that we live in one world, but we live in it in very different ways – playing with everyday objects and spaces, placed in impossible ways to express that many times, the inner dimension of each one of us does not match the mental structures of those around us. The architectural spaces and day-to-day objects are part of a metaphor of how difficult it is to fit everything that shapes our daily space: our relationships, work, ambitions, and dreams,” says Vidal.
Vidal has studied at Escola Massana in Barcelona and when she was 16, she started to work as an apprentice in Taller de Escenografia Castells Planas in St.Agnes de Malasanyes, where she has learnt from Josep and Jordi Castells to love scenography and the backdrop trade. She has her own exhibition at Miscelanea BCN in Barcelona.
Vidal, as a visual artist, has never stopped experimenting and has worked as a freelancer for various clients when gradually she started to create her own work.
