About
Regina Saura
When she moved to the countryside in the 1980s, enthralled by her new surroundings and rural life, she turned to painting, which has been her profession ever since.
Lately, landscape has become the focus of her attention. Sensitive to the fragility of nature, she paints trees and woods: her series of burnt forests alert us to the precariousness of the natural world.
Travelling has also resulted in rich images of lavender fields and vineyards, the vibrant life of the Provençal countryside, and the salt marshes of the Atlantic.
In 2017, she travelled to Japan for the second time and it is in observing the oriental culture, the colourful streets and people that inspired the artist to develop a collection of pieces in which she plays with shadows and superimpositions, strength, colour and mystery.
Indeed, vibrant color is fundamental to Regina’s art, “Sometimes I think I was born Mexican,” says the painter about her way of creating a bold, shimmering palette.
Regina is not afraid to experiment with different media: “Collage is one more brushstroke that forms part of the creative process”.
The artist is currently developing team projects in architecture, installations, and performances. She is currently researching structures and volumes as part of her most ambitious projects in the pursuit of her dialogue with nature. In 2025, the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion will be exhibiting Regina´s external-internal installation: playing on the reflection of autumn leaves in the ornamental pool and the resulting shadows and transparencies.
