Interview with Maria Aparici

Interview with Maria Aparici

ContemporaryArtCurator
Art Review, Contemporary Art, Painting

In Maria Aparici Vives’s work, one notes a distant but suggestive pictorial connection with her grand-uncle, Manuel Benedito Vives (1875-1963), a painter of the Valentian school, especially in her female portraits in which each artist articulates a certain concept of style in accordance with the nomenclatures and vicissitudes of his/her time. One might argue that what is in him an orthodox and sober characterization of bodies and atmospheres, Aparici’s work sets an expressionist and algid formulation of this same gender in boiling gestures, streaks, expressions and colors. They indicate an evolutionary tendency which leaves the eye with a creative vitalism in the times of different generations. Gregorio Vigil-Escalera (Spanish art critic).
