BTOY -

 
 

Nota biográfica


Btoy lives in Barcelona.

Statement


One of her interests is to use what might be called a "mur trouvé" with its irregular surfaces, adding remains of pollution and ads, where doors and windows boarded become appropriate frameworks for self-expression in her work. Walls sought and found, not so
random, they become an ideal medium to disseminate the work.

Their characters stop and dig into his eyes making us reflect on the passage of time. People of difficult adjustment to a stable society. Becoming childhood dreams disappointments. A world of illusion. Different times and places, but ultimately the same show, which runs in front and behind the mask. Her work is characterized by intertextuality. Heavy load nostalgic portraits are swayed
by forceful brushstrokes and color. Pallets colors challenge to those described in black and white photographs. Btoy presented in her works the precepts of postmodernism, eclectic, ephemeral, the result of the loss of social cohesion.

She has exhibited at galleries in Barcelona, London Paris and Los Angeles; and she has participated in many live shows as "The Cans Festival", in London.
