M. Torres i Tarrès

More light

The dozen works that the Barcelona artist Montserrat Torres i Tarrés brings together in this exhibition "More Light" are based on handmade paper that the artist works with grease stains that appear when light falls on them.
The motifs represented in the collection are eminently corporeal, particularly organs such as the iris or the hands, which allow people to be identified.

In the artist's words, "light is identified with knowledge, spirit and cosmic force and symbolises the indestructible particle".
Montserrat Torres is also the author of numerous interior and exterior murals, some of which are of the highest proportions, which have been placed in buildings in numerous countries such as Japan, Switzerland, Andorra, Italy and, of course, Spain.

She has participated in a dozen projects, including a 225-square-metre mural she painted in 1992 in Igualada.
