Painting as visual poetry by Miquel Vilà
Sala Parés presents a retrospective that reveals the plastic strength and intimate sensibility of the Catalan artist.
The Sala Parés dedicates a retrospective exhibition to Miquel Vilà, offering visitors a journey that vindicates painting as a poetic and expressive language par excellence. This exhibition highlights the plastic strength of Vilà's work beyond genres, themes or modes, inviting the public to enter a visual universe where sensitivity and reflection go hand in hand. The paintings and engravings on display carefully explore the artist's everyday environment: intimate and detailed interiors that are combined with broad horizons, often loaded with personal symbols that reveal Vilà's unique view of the world.

The exhibition, which can be visited until April 11, not only offers an immersion in the artist's technique and aesthetics, but also invites the viewer to a contemplative experience. The twilight light that Vilà recreates in his paintings accentuates the contrasts, playing with shadows and material thicknesses that provide depth and volume. This way of treating light and texture gives the painting an existential and vibrant tone, connecting in a subtle way with the tradition of Italian metaphysical painting that the artist admires.

Throughout the tour, one perceives how each piece reflects not only the painter's hand, but also a poetic thought that transcends the support and technique. It is an invitation to savor painting in its purest form, to let oneself be carried away by the balance between intimacy and universality, and to discover how Vilà's gaze transforms everyday life into images full of poetry and meaning. An exhibition that confirms his ability to make painting a language capable of speaking directly to the soul of the viewer.
“Vilà scrupulously defends the craft and, above all, stands as a defender of painting as a language. For him, painting is a refuge from the hostile world that surrounds him, but also the most skillful and surest weapon against adversity. His compositions are a song of resistance against the agony that, according to Vilà, contemporary painting is suffering.” Sergio Fuentes Milà
