All auctions / Contemporary Art / MUMA - Arquitecturas Utópicas 42 (XL)


The series “Utopian Architectures” builds an universe of impossible architectures where geometry stops being only structure to become visual thought. Through arches, planes, columns and floating volumes, the compositions propose spaces that seem to inhabit a territory intermediate between the model, memory and abstraction. Each element maintains a delicate balance between stability and tension, as if the shapes existed suspended in a moment before movement or collapse. The use of color plays a fundamental role within the series. The intensely saturated tones—electric pinks, deep blues, solar yellows and artificial greens—transform geometry into an emotional experience before a rational one. Light, clean and precise, generates elongated shadows that extend the structures beyond the painting plane itself, creating a sense of stopped time and a metaphysical space that harkens both to certain Bauhaus and constructivist ideas and to Giorgio de Chirico’s silent atmosphere. More than representing real buildings, these works function as mental constructions. They are architectures without practical function, conceived from intuition and contemplation, where emptiness acquires as much importance as matter. In them, the spectator does not find a habitable place in physical terms, but a symbolic space to project perception, balance and inner experience. Thus the series poses a reflection on the relationship between order and emotion, between geometric rationality and poetic sensitivity, placing abstraction as a way to imagine new possibilities of space and thought. About MUMA: MUMA is an artistic duo formed by a Generalist 3D and Designer and an Art Historian, both trained at CEU San Pablo University in Madrid. Their artistic practice centers on the plastic arts, with special interest in color, movement and the dynamism of forms, as well as in variations of the environment. Their work is conceived to integrate into space and to establish a direct dialogue with routine and human experience, exploring a vital vision linked to the ideals of impressionism, such as the relationship with nature, color and changing atmospheres. MUMA is linked to the professional world of digital and plastic arts in Madrid, with participations in competitions. About preparation, packing and shipping of the work: The work is hand-signed by the artistic duo and also comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by them. The canvas, rolled, is carefully packed in a sturdy cardboard tube and will be shipped within three business days after purchase confirmation. The estimated delivery time will depend on the destination and the chosen shipping company.
