Marifé Núñez / The Beauty of the Fleeting and the Comfort of Memory

An exhibition in honor of my mother

This series of portraits reflects, with deep sensitivity, the beauty, nostalgia, and stillness that come with the passage of time. It is a tribute to the memory of my mother, where life is remembered with tenderness and gratitude, celebrating her strength, wisdom, and peace in her final years. Each piece is a tribute to all the women who, like her, embraced the fragility of life with a serene smile.

Marifé Núñez explores aging and time through a symbol rich in history: luxury handbags, which here transcend their role as mere objects. In each work, the handbags become time capsules, preserving memories, scars, and dreams. They reveal a deep generational connection: we are heirs of the past and mothers of the future.

Núñez’s work invites reflection on materialism and the value we assign to the objects we choose to preserve. These portraits, beyond their aesthetic qualities, are mirrors of the human experience and a reminder of the elegance found in accepting the passing years.

The exhibition belongs to a current that blends the figurative with the symbolic, creating a bridge between visual representation and introspective reflection. Núñez’s style not only captures the appearance of her subjects but transforms them into icons of personal and collective memory. The female figures, with exaggerated proportions and large eyes, intensify the emotional expression of the characters, evoking a sense of vulnerability and wisdom.
