BIOGRAPHY

Born in Palma in 1969, where she lives and works, her work moves in the field of sculpture, painting and photography, where she plays with a varied amount of materials and supports. She began her art studies in Mallorca and in 1994 she moved to London to continue her artistic training in the workshops of the Tate Gallery of London, Mary Ward Center of Arts, National Gallery of London and Glass Sculpture Center Foundation.

Her first works were realistic in nature, but little by little she came closer and closer to abstraction, a style in which she now moves with great freedom when using techniques and materials.

According to Amigó, being is an accumulation of feelings, a plot woven by the interaction of emotions, encounters, ruptures, which is why Amigó’s work focuses on the observation of small things, everyday details that, due to their insignificance, that seem to create an entire Universe.
showing through her work the representation of a hidden inner world, a network of situations, experiences. Everything intertwined forms a plot that is what we are and what we have become.

It is worth carefully observing the textures, the diversity of techniques: the graphics, the textures, the play of colors, the light, the ambiguity of the shapes, the magic of the figures, and the use of pigments. Sometimes she only paints the subtle trace of her passing, and the strokes disappear into abstraction.
He has obtained numerous distinctions and awards, such as best visual artist Rotary Club, or the Honorable Mention from the Higher School of Design of the Balearic Islands and has exhibited in Fairs and Galleries around the world such as the Tate Modern, Victoria House , Asian Contemporary Art Fair, among others, and her worcs are in private collections in diferent countries.

STATEMENT

My goal is to provoke emotions and awaken awareness of the importance that the most subtle details of our existence can have.

I try to create a visual and emotional experience that invites us to reflect on the richness and complexity of our minds and the importance of our decisions, no matter how insignificant they may seem. Through the combination of techniques and the integration of unexpected elements, such as plastics, small mirrors or solidified paint, I seek to highlight the importance of small things and explore the vastness of possibilities found in our minds, an infinite universe of imagination, experiences and decisions, which shape us.
It reminds us that art, like life, is not just about grand gestures, but also about appreciating and valuing the subtle details that make up the work as a whole.
Based on Human existentialism: In each choice, the individual faces the responsibility of building his or her own life and giving it meaning. Freedom, then, becomes a burden and an opportunity, as the individual faces the immensity of possibilities.
