'Growing room'

 

The Modus Operandi Gallery hosts the exhibition Cuarto Creciente, a project by the artist Lucía Díaz Barrales. Lucía investigates the processes of transformation of matter with a poetic reading of scientific concepts. Highlighting the dynamic and vibrant character of geology, she investigates the formative forces of nature while penetrating cultural and spiritual dimensions. With this, she meditates on magic by studying it and relating it to art and science. In her work, themes such as time and history, death and magic, etc. are already recurring. Salt, water and ceramics, worked with a forge that cooks at a temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Celsius. Natural elements to generate geological art or use the natural geology of art to create. To do this, he uses a technique based on salts, water and ceramics that he has been developing for some time and that, due to physical and chemical conditions, the work varies, growing little by little to infinity with geometric salt forms while maintaining the figure given to it by the ceramics covered in frosted ice.
