“Free spirits are those who investigate reality in such a deep way as to be cruel because they seek the truth even in painful things, so curious and with a heart bent toward the elusive"
Nietzsche
Beatriz Lumbreras, Spanish artist, investigates all possible and imaginable facets of reality by beind guided by the power of art. Through her artwork "Untitled" she transmits and tells about than energy that can take shape like this, with a type of language that goes beyond words.
The artist used dynamic brushstrokes, strong colours that generate the form of a struggle on the canvas. Everything we see on the canvas "Untitle" is pure, strong, alive energy.
Black shapes and beige shapes evoque the silhouettes of fighters who collide and originate white sketches.
Combatants move in a red enviroment. It,s like looking at a battlefield from above, like we are looking at an aerial photograph, like we are suspended at looking and something happenig in another dimension.
We are witnessing something complex, something distant and at the same time close, something that we can feel with the soul and not with our senses, something that is perceived only if you pay attention and that is often silenced by the noise of every day life.
Beatriz Lumbreras gives us with this work the possibility of a metaphysical experience and catapults us into another dimension, with dynamic and strong paint strokes that figth against the limits to reach the fluidity to form.

Beatriz Lumbreras' art, her abstract painting*, is exciting and true. She conveys to me in such a direct way her feeling in the world that I can't help but get excited and I can't help but feel that it's true, that's how she looks in the world, how she feels in it. To express oneself in this way is the art of truth for me, the one that has no other use than to reflect being, being, living, imagining oneself in the world that has been given to us or to which we have been thrown, something inevitably original. No one can feel in the world as another, the originality of all is inevitable, but manifest it, share it ... That requires a lot of virtue, honesty and dedication. It is beautiful to see it with such precision and sharpness; and to show it in a way that is so obvious, it's something that requires so much skill... The ability to manifest oneself in this way using only light to transmit her being, her feeling, her feelings, is within the reach of so few and on so few occasions, that I feel fortunate to have been able to discover Beatriz, that she has revealed herself to me through her art.
* Perhaps calling something abstract serves to say that it is not figurative, that it cannot be confused with something that already exists and what may be represented in whose comparison, or in the study of expertise, the meaning of the novelty that we all are can be lost. For me, however, Beatriz Lumbreras' art is not abstract, I do not experience it that way because it is such a clear representation of her feelings, of her seeing herself in the world, of the world in which she is seen, that has so much sense, so much meaning ... But it is true that we usually call "it" abstract, even if it is what makes the most sense, a more vital meaning. Ricardo Lamas Vallo Philosopher, writer and screenwriter
