30 - JOANA MARTOS (Jódar, Jaén, 1973).

JOANA MARTOS (Jódar, Jaén, 1973). “Still Life with Oranges.” “Metaphysics” series, 2010. Oil on canvas. Certificate of authenticity included. Dimensions: 51 x 61 cm. This work by Joana Martos offers a contemporary interpretation of the still life, characterized by the prominence of color and the freedom of the brushstroke. A green glass container, several oranges, and a wooden structure are arranged against a background of fabrics whose folds introduce movement and depth. The contrast between the warm yellows and oranges and the violets of the surroundings creates a vibrant composition in which everyday objects take on a renewed visual dimension. The work highlights the artist’s interest in the relationships between matter, light, and perception. For more than three decades, Joana Martos has pursued an artistic career in the visual arts and, more recently, in the audiovisual field. Beginning in 2012, she expanded her training in multimedia, graphic design, visual narrative, and animation, later pursuing advanced studies in art at the Vic School of Art and Design, where she specialized in video art projects. In 2018, she presented her project “Miradas de la India” at the Museu d’Art de la Pell in Vic, the result of a travel experience that influenced her visual work. At the same time, she has developed immersive projects such as “Sacred Geometry,” aimed at exploring the relationship between image, sound, and consciousness. Her artistic practice also encompasses illustration, writing, and teaching.
