EMMA MARTÍN ARRUFAT

Painter, pop singer and song-writer.

Emma Martín Arrufat is a 22 year old artist from Barcelona, graduated in Fine Arts and specialized in painting. Her career started young when she won the 1st prize in the international art competition "The London Coffee Festival" in London, England, with only 17 . Since then she has participated in several group and solo exhibitions and has won several other awards.

 

Her artistic project revolves around several existentialist and endogenous concepts: the representation of human concerns through subjective vision and everyday life. She began working with the lack of identity in the confinement of COVID-19, and little by little her work developed towards absence and presence in her day-to-day life. In her works stand out the disfigurements, inexpressiveness and malformations that take us into a personal –and sometimes even painful- universe, where we can also find illness and abandonment. The interior landscapes and family portraits, especially those depicting personal moments and everyday feelings, show us the most present part of his daily life.

Her main technique is painting on canvas support (in acrylic and oil), although she also works with installation art as another medium, together with the technique of engraving, especially drypoint and monotypes.
