This exhibition features the work of visually impaired painter Cristina Gutiérrez Lafuerza, showcasing her landscapes inspired by the sea. The paintings are characterized by their vigorous dynamism and bold use of color, even in darker palettes.
The exhibition 'El mar da vida a mis paisajes' presents the artistic creations of Cristina Gutiérrez Lafuerza, a painter with visual impairment. Lafuerza, born in Huesca in 1936, began her artistic journey at 18 and later refined her technique through various painting courses, ultimately embracing the 'Rayonismo' technique. Her work is distinguished by a powerful use of color, employing a wide range of earthy tones, grays, and blacks to construct images of striking vigor and dynamism. Her landscapes are described as both light and firm, reinterpreting natural motifs through her personal vision.
Despite facing significant vision loss in her later career, Lafuerza continues to create courageous new works, demonstrating a passion for color, nature, painting, and life. Her spontaneous brushstroke allows for a sense of freedom in her compositions. While landscapes are her primary focus, she also engages with figurative subjects. The exhibition highlights her ability to produce impactful and dynamic art that transcends any perceived limitation of her visual impairment.
