Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Emoxion', an exhibition by Lola Raya, a painter with a visual impairment, presenting 13 of her artworks. Born in Terrassa in 1965, Raya's work is characterized by an explosion of color and texture, translating pure emotion into art. The project began in 2020, with the artist explaining that 'Emoxion' was derived from her passion for representing the human figure in movement with maximum expression, creating a blend of emotion and expression. The exhibition was accompanied by an exclusive soundtrack composed by Jose Manuel Martínez Cascales, designed to evoke a calm and emotional state. Raya, who has focused professionally on art since 2014, utilizes techniques like pastels and, for this exhibition, a mix of water-based oils and diverse textures including fabric, stone, and jute to create new and impactful results, often painting with her fingers to feel closer to the pigments and the emotions she conveys.
