Cinta Vidal Agulló is a Spanish artist and illustrator that lives and works in a small town near Barcelona. Her recent paintings, painted with acrylic paint on wooden boards, are intricate depictions of the disparity between a person's internal perspective of life and the reality around them. The work is really reminiscent of M.C Escher's gravity-defying lithographs in which all available angles and surfaces are inhabited by characters. Agulló's paintings are built with tiny brushstrokes over days in her two-room studio above her family toy shop, and every one of them is beautiful and detailed and complex and textured and I'm obsessed with them I want them all.
Agulló's paintings also bring to mind the idea that of intersecting lives and experiences; the characters in her these paintings seem independent, but we can see that each platform connects and each figure's life has ties with that of another.
Agulló also works as a painter for one of Europe's forefront scenery studios, painting large-scale backgrounds for operas and theatre productions all over the world. As a result of this, Agulló works at either extreme of the painting scale - from brushstrokes that require just a movement of the wrist, to those that require her whole arm.
