“My main practice is painting although I also engage in drawing, sculptural and video installations and film as well. Lately dealing with issues such as extinction, the general focus is on social aspects of the world today. Approaching them in a poetic way, evoking reenchantment with nature, a consideration for bureaucracy.” Elina Perinat (b. 1965, Paris) was educated in London and New York and is now living and working between Madrid and the Pityusic Islands. Her works can be found in museums and international collections such us the Consell Insular d’Eivissa-Formentera, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Loulé, Portugal and Colección Iberdrola. Exhibitions include: 2012 Casablanca Biennal, Morocco, Museo de la Basílica de Guadalupe & Fundación Sebastian, México D.F. Museu d’Art Contemporani d’Eivissa. elianaperinat.com
Julie Rrap I am interested in images and objects that arouse our curiosity and play with our expectations. Our imaginations are what free us from the mundane and return us to the magical. I like to think of the history of art as a great theatre of the world in which our passions, fears and beliefs are constantly evoked and shared across time. julierrap.com
