STATEMENT

​

Finishing her last years of specialization in graphic work at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid, Marta Bermúdez discovered oil painting in 2015 by the hand of the realist painter Joaquín Risueño. In the study of his teacher, he trained during his last years of career, in the creation of pictorial work in a realistic style, where he began to transmit, from a detailed and elaborate technique, a vision of painting from its deepest, pure and humanistic side. .

 

The dialogue in her painting focuses on two permanent series, two lines of research that, for the artist, have to do with the transpersonal power of the human being. Through his interest in psychology and anthropology, he tries to break the barrier of the "I" from a meticulous observation of the current world.

 

The first of her series has to do with the individual and its inner most part. A dialogue from the inside out.

 

I have always been driven to have to see other people's point of view in order to better understand my world. Now with painting and from the series "Vitam Mortem" I do the same. I am concerned about putting myself in the shoes of who I portray to try to capture a reality that although at first seems alien to us, nevertheless connects us all, because learning to look at ourselves as a community it is necessary "

 

The second series talks about what connects us from our human condition, through an external journey. A dialogue from the outside in.

 

“I started traveling at a very young age to countries with a socio-economic development very different from mine. Through my second series "Reportpainter" I began to paint the real testimonies that I have seen in my travels, showing works from a social criticism and developing a dialogue that tells us about empathy, despite the differences that society marks us with".

 

Through her interest in the spiritual and technical aspects of painting, as postulated by Kandinsky and Da Vinci at the time, and her passion for detail as influences from Flemish painting or 19th century realism, Marta Bermúdez's work is shown as a journey towards the center of painting where the detail and the rigor of the color are the vehicle of a world that transports us towards emotion.
