Carmen Arribas Sánchez Discusses Intuition and Texture in Abstract Painting
Carmen Arribas Sánchez, a Spanish abstract artist represented by Singulart, has finished her ORIGEN series and is currently developing her HORIZONTE series. In a recent interview, she highlighted her emphasis on texture, layers, and the interplay between gentle and bold gestures. She chose pieces from both series to demonstrate her artistic practice. ORIGEN showcases organic forms, while HORIZONTE captures an abstract interpretation of a horizon. Her upbringing in Asturias has significantly shaped her themes. A chemical engineer by training, Sánchez balances her painting with her management responsibilities. After relocating to Germany, she established C. Arribas Studio to present her work. Her classical background influences her methodology, and she appreciates the diverse reactions her abstract pieces inspire.
