Regina Giménez
The works of Regina Giménez capture a poetic spirit thanks to the insistence of her metaphors.
Her work produces a world divided between the real and the imaginary, by means of geometries, maps and constructions that provoke an introspective journey in the spectator. As indicated by the critic Frederic Montornés, her work is a research around the aesthetic and formal aspect of graphic representations, that disclose an obsolete knowledge and that the artist releases and gives them autonomy from their beauty and simplicity.
The work of Regina Giménez, is a versatile work represented through objects of different nature, from a carpet to a vinyl, passing through paper and cloth. Through these objects, universal dialogues such as abstraction and figuration, color and black and white or the whole with the fragment, are materialized.The works of Regina Giménez capture a poetic spirit thanks to the insistence of her metaphors.
