Art Madrid'24 – Inés Rubio Roa
Inés Rubio Roa
Madrid, 1996
Her work is highly figurative and pictorial, creating a dreamlike universe where imagination transcends logic. Each of her pieces tells a story tied to contemporary themes and features a significant aesthetic component that provides cohesion to her series. With a conceptual approach, she plays with the unconscious, establishing her own rules to unleash creativity and set reason aside. She navigates between surrealism and empiricism, finding appeal in both philosophical perspectives, which, though seemingly contradictory, complement each other. Her work explores the realm of the unconscious, emphasizing the importance of intuition and imagination while also grounding itself in tangible reality through observation and experience.
The goal of her work is to embrace the irrational by exploring the unconscious. She works with everyday objects laden with symbolism and personal nostalgia, removed from their usual scale and context, thereby creating fantastical atmospheres that challenge perceptions of materiality while remaining rooted in a recognizable reality.
