ADRIANA MEUNIE
Es Llombards, Mallorca, 1985
After completing her fashion studies at the Escola Superior de Disseny
BAU in Barcelona, Meunié set up her studio in Campos, having been dissociated from the world of fashion but fascinated by the textile experience.
In this environment that imbues her, and in constant dialogue with it, the artist advances in her creative search. Meunié discovers her own textile universe in praise of the intrinsic beauty of the raw material, of her habitat and its ancestral crafts, of its very primitive techniques, making all this hers through the contemporaneity that her hand bestows.
Adriana Meunié’s voluminous compositions in native vegetable fibers such as carrita, esparto grass, raffia, pieces of natural and ancient fabrics or animal fibers such as sheared wool, are the result of her admiration for the beauty and essence of the raw.
The artists’ works, which evoke abstract landscapes and the organic shapes of her surrounding nature, allow the very expression of the raw material as pieces that contain both the purity of the wild and the origin of the deformed, embracing also the monstrous. In this way, the works find a balance confronting calm with discomfort. Texture, shape and volume are the pillars of an investigation that seeks to bring to the interior a purified and neat nature.
