Marta de los Pájaros

Spain • 1984

Marta understands collage as a discursive and disruptive medium. Each work opens the way to a symbolic locus in which a novel scenario is represented.

Biography

The integrity of her work emerges from the synergies generated by the Humanities-Fine Arts binomial. She understands collage as a discursive and disruptive medium, through which the artist constructs new units of meaning derived from a reflexive selection, decontextualization, and re-contextualization of materials inherent to our visual culture. The driving force behind her work lies in the desire to share the discursive richness extracted from readings about everything that fascinates her. Thus, each project she undertakes embraces new lines of research, increasingly linked to themes related to the human species and committed to nature and the world around us. The visual language she uses interweaves original graphic material, of disparate origins and chronologies, with other materials capable of establishing an organic dialogue charged with formal intention, generating symbolic loci that appeal to the viewer's imagination, leading them to a time and space that lies on the fine line separating reality from its possible alternatives.
