Nico Munuera Opens 'Piedras sobre agua' at Pedro Cera During Apertura Madrid

exhibition · 2026-09-30

Nico Munuera, hailing from Lorca, Murcia, was born in 1974. He abandoned his mathematics education to focus on painting, which he characterizes as both elegant and contemplative, reminiscent of a Zen-like atmosphere. His artwork conveys inner landscapes, symbolizing a spiritual state for both the creator and the viewer. He references Kant's notion that the sublime exists within the subject, emphasizing that abstract art allows the audience to engage as the feeling self. The exhibition titled 'Piedras sobre agua' will be showcased at Galería Pedro Cera in Madrid, part of the Apertura event, until November 14. Munuera’s artistic journey began at 20, triggered by a spontaneous painting experience during a difficult period, prompting his shift from mathematics.
