Fina Millares

(Catalonia | 1950)

In a chapter of the small book Testament Vital, Fina Miralles recalls her travels through different places in Latin America, where she lived with some native peoples of the region. “Here it was the eyes that spoke and not the words… we understood each other with the feeling and the look”, she then notes in one of the notebooks that have accompanied her throughout her existence. Fina Miralles spent periods in South America, France, and Italy before settling in Cadaqués in 1999. In the early seventies, Fina carried out actions in nature involving elements such as trees, earth, water, and her own body. With great simplicity and forcefulness, these actions focused on the relationship between the natural and the artificial. In the eighties, due to her travels, spirituality gained strength in her paintings and drawings, returning to performance in recent years and establishing a dialogue with the land, the sea, and the rhythms of nature. In recent years, she has published some of her poetic work.
