Taking a breath: the poetic and dense world of Clara Oliveras at the Valvi Foundation
Explore the layers of color, texture and light on a journey that combines introspection, poetry and emotion to reveal the depth of Clara Oliveras' visual world.
Agafar aire is the new exhibition by Clara Oliveras, which can be visited at the Valvi Foundation in Girona until April 25. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to review the entirety of her work and at the same time highlight some common features, both formal and thematic, that run through her work. Often, these constants are presented under a deceptively friendly or accessible appearance, but they hide a complexity and depth that deserve to be contemplated carefully.
Clara Oliveras' works combine poetic abstraction and emotion, building a highly personal visual language. Her works play with color, texture and light, creating layers that convey depth and intensity. The constant dialogue between organic forms and geometric structures, added to the strength of the stroke and line, defines an intimate and suggestive universe. Each piece invites the viewer to connect with their own emotions and perceptions, revealing a visual poetry that goes beyond mere representation.
One of the most remarkable elements of the artist's career is the way he organizes his work into distinct stages. Each stage represents a deep immersion in research and experimentation, a process in which the artist delves into new forms, materials or concerns, and then emerges, takes a deep breath and begins a new cycle. This rhythm of submerging and emerging not only gives his work internal coherence, but also allows each individual project or exhibition to be perceived as the result of intense and focused research, while also beginning to open up new possibilities and creative paths.
Her way of creating thus invites a slow and reflective approach. The combination of delicacy and rigor, of visual attraction and conceptual depth, transforms each painting and each drawing into a space for contemplation and introspection. With Agafar aire at the Valvi Foundation in Girona, Clara Oliveras reminds us that the creative process is often a balance between tension and breathing, between exploration and pause, and that in this constant gesture of submerging and re-emerging lies much of the richness and value of her work.
