In recent years, Maria Braña has significantly boosted her career with interesting solo exhibitions, group experiences and obtaining awards, such as the recent II Premio Internacional de Pintura del HUCA or the Premio Ayuntamiento de Valdés del pasado Certamen de Arte de Luarca, which has resulted in the exhibition that is taking place now. Mary Braña has achieved gradually, making the invisible visible in her own way, with a set of modular forms where signs and graphics abound.
Her recent work bets on austerity and emotion, inquiring about these experiments, starting with brilliant combinations of lines, planes and colors. In each piece, the painter removes non functional elements and puts herself away from philosophical or utopian approaches with the serialization of irregular structures, optical tangles and the importance of new technologies, which Ramón Rodríguez recently has defined as "an example of the tension that occurs between a two-dimensional surface and forms, without forgetting the interaction of color ".
