Fina Miralles (Spain *1950 )

Fina Miralles studied in Barcelona from 1968 to 1972. Today, she lives and works in CadaquƩs. Fina Miralles explores the relationships between humans, nature and objects and analyzes the transformation and alienation of natural objects when taken out of context. She works with different media, including painting, performance and video. She rediscovered painting again in the late 1970s.

In "Petjades' (Footprints), Fina Miralles inscribes her footprint on the city, measuring urban space. Her reflections on nature, landscape and artificiality are intended as critical and socio-political observations.
