THIERRY CARRIER

Thierry Carrier has built a deeply introspective body of work, defined by silence and an emotional tension that is difficult to fully name. His paintings place the viewer before solitary figures, suspended within bare landscapes, where gesture, gaze, and posture seem to contain a story that is never completely revealed.

MANUEL MARTÍ MORENO

Manuel Martí Moreno, born in Valencia in 1979, has developed a sculptural language where matter, emptiness, structure, and existential reflection converge with remarkable intensity. His work stands out for its ability to transform strong, resistant materials into forms that appear light, fragile, and almost suspended in time.

Editorial – Issue 89

Throughout the history of painting, wings have been far more than a simple aesthetic or narrative device. They are a persistent metaphor, a symbol that moves across cultures, periods, and styles, carrying meanings that range from the divine to the profoundly human. To speak of wings in art is, in essence, to speak of freedom: that constant longing, at times luminous and at others painful, to transcend the limits that define us.
