Beatriz Martin Vidal 2025 Catalog
Beatriz Martin Vidal, Metra Lin
2025

Overview

Beatriz Martin Vidal 2025 is a spiritually and poetically rich art catalog that comprehensively presents the significant works of Spanish artist Beatriz Martín Vidal. Grounded in the realism of classical oil painting, she combines minimalist settings with strong contrasts of light and shadow, translating core themes such as existence, freedom, the soul, and eternity into gaze and silence on canvas.

In this book, the recurring figures of women and children in her work are prominently featured. They are not constrained by time, gender, or identity but instead represent pure human archetypes and vessels of the soul. Their gazes meet the viewer directly—not to communicate or narrate, but as a summons from the depths of the soul, urging us to pause and confront the weight of our own existence. Animals, plants, and birds depicted in her works carry metaphorical significance, guiding viewers into the liminal space between reality and the surreal.

The catalog emphasizes the artist’s understanding of “conflict” and “fracture.” She believes that it is in the tension between everyday life and transcendence, reason and spirituality, reality and dream that one can see the light streaming through the cracks. This insight resonates with the revelations found in the lyrics of Leonard Cohen and remains a central pursuit in her practice. The use of gold leaf further enhances the sense of the sacred and the transcendent, imparting a depth akin to prayer.

The catalog includes works across oil, acrylic, metal leaf, and watercolor, showcasing Vidal’s technical and conceptual exploration. From Revelation of the Soul to Revelation, Journey, Daydream, and whimsical paper works, each piece serves as a window opening the viewer to another world.

In addition to the artworks, the catalog contains artist statements and critical essays that delve into her creative motivations and philosophical thinking. Vidal acknowledges that art is difficult to explain logically, yet it reaches where reason cannot, revealing that “beauty” is not merely a goal but a key to unlocking access to the soul and deeper layers of reality.

Beatriz Martin Vidal 2025 is not just an art collection catalog—it is a revelation of the soul. It invites viewers to contemplate, reconsidering the meaning of existence and freedom amidst the interplay of light and shadow, reality and dream.
