FLOWERS AND MOONS Alba Escayo 10.09 - 12.10.24

“Flowers and Moons” is the third solo exhibition by Alba Escayo (Avilés, 1981) at the Lucía Dueñas Gallery.

Escayo holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and attended the National Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Italy. In 2011, she received a master's degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Serbia.

Her work is present in museums, public and private collections. Escayo has been selected for many art residencies and has collaborated on international projects. She has had several solo and group exhibitions in Spain, Singapore, the Balkans, France, the United Arab Emirates and Portugal, among many other places.

"A moon, two, a bird, a flower, constellations of elements that order and disorder the painting."

My work focuses on offering a contemplative look at nature, without attempting to represent it literally.

An intimate look at nature, where you can wander between strokes and colours. Each element is a reminder of the beauty and mystery that surrounds us. The night is the point of reference, with nature as the protagonist, the city and humanity silenced in the darkness. A search for the light and colour that shines in the landscape before disappearing at nightfall.

Escayo's paintings are produced in a wide range of forms, from small postcard formats to large wall-sized creations using acrylic, oil, ink and other media in combination.

The paintings have a texture, collage and vibrant energy. In these works, the natural world often interacts with the artist's world: explosions of color, hidden text, line and space combine in an explosion of life.

In addition to painting, Escayo also works with photography and new media.
