MARINA NUÑEZ (Palencia, 1966).

MARINA NUÑEZ (Palencia, 1966). "Pair of eyes". Oil on canvas glued to aluminium plates. Sizes: 138,5 x 158,5 cm (x2); 140 x 355 cm (diptych). Diptych made up of two works each representing an eye. Through a realistic aesthetic the artist transports us to a surrealistic world, where the viewer cannot help but be reminded of the film Perro Andaluz. The artist describes the representation of the eyes as a sample of the "subjective, changing, or mutant vision, also monstrous, the other side of the rational aspect of the human being". In her works, Marina Núñez represents different, aberrant, monstrous beings, those who exist on the margins or against the canon. The anomalous bodies that populate her paintings, computer graphics and videos speak to us of a metamorphic, hybrid, multiple identity. He recreates a destabilised and impure subjectivity. She began her artistic training with a degree in Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca and later obtained a doctorate in Fine Arts at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. Nowadays she works as a professor of painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Vigo. Her work began to be exhibited in the early nineties and since then she has had solo exhibitions in public centres such as Espacio Uno at the Reina Sofía (1997), La Gallera in the Valencian Community (1998), the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Palma de Mallorca (2000), the Church of Verónicas in Murcia (2001), the DA2 in Salamanca (2002), the Casa de América in Madrid (2004), the Cervantes Institute in Paris (2006) and La Panera in Lleida (2008), La Panera in Lleida (2008), the Musac in León (2009), the Centre del Carme in Valencia (2010), the Sala Rekalde in Bilbao (2011), the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid (2012), the Sala Alcalá 31 of the Community of Madrid (2015), Artium in Vitoria (2016), the Cortes de Castilla y León (2016), the Palacio de la Madraza in Granada (2016), Es Baluard in Palma de Mallorca (2017) and the Chapel of the Barjola Museum (2017).
