Miren Doiz
Information
Miren Doiz (Pamplona, 1980) plays with painting and objects, moving in an absolutely physical medium. Her work doubtlessly presents one of the most unique conceptions of artistic practice and also one of the most invasive into territories in relation to which one would state it to be alien. Doiz herself considers that: “My work always has painting as its fundamental axis, but is located between the pictorial, installation and photography. The plastic translation of this method results in an amalgam that subverts the observing of the rules, whether this is in the act of creation or of affectation in the visualising of the work. A dose of inspired hyper-realism that turns into atmospheres of everyday unreality, perhaps marked out by an intimate verisimilitude”.
In her first works, from 2005, that joining of painting, photography and installation dealt with rooms in the house, on the walls and furniture of which Doiz stretched acrylic paint. The final result was photography of the place with its corresponding occupant, which led her to name them “inhabited pictures”.
For Doiz the support for the painting is anything different from the traditional canvas – so a whole building, a bus, corners of public places, etc – and the painting itself can be made up of things ranging from acrylics and common pigments to everyday objects, different found materials and even the containers themselves. What is of great importance, along with much of the strength of the colour, is her chromatic boldness.
Thus, S.T. (Untitled) 2013, are simple undulating cardboard boxes covered in acrylic and folded up; and the set of works covered in the Serie no painting series has a common characteristic in that the elements that make it up never come from the painting directly, but rather from strange mechanisms. The collages are made of pieces cut out from pages in catalogues from exhibitions held by Doiz herself; collages that both play with the text and with the image, and which even allow themselves certain winks that one would say were if not figurative then narrative. On other occasions they are cardboard boxes and plastic bags folded up and wrapped until they form a chromatic and formal symphony that are as attractive as they are subtle. Finally, the forms of the largest work are created using blinds, plastic adhesive tape and canvas, stretching along the wall and sweeping over the floor in a visual game that questions its two dimensional nature.

Artwork
Over the last few years I have developed a work focused on subverting the traditional ways of painting, a research about the limits, which has led me to expansive painting and to the production of a multidisciplinary work where the painting places me closer to photography, installation or sculpture.
Interest in the specific nature, and in the perception of each space, has been a constant in my work. I have intervened in different nonexhibition spaces which were photographed and posed some questions about what is real, the recreated, habitability, or the unique, and I have also carried out some installations and interventions where I incorporate the spectator into my painting, so they become a part of the picture.
Recently my research has been focused on changing my usual way of doing things, the way I was taught. This has led me, on the one hand, to another type of interventions where my painting, which was previously so obvious, has been dissolved until becoming almost invisible, yet without renouncing a complete transformation of the place. On the other hand this has also led me to a broad scope of work developed in the studio, in which I have eliminated material painting, in order to at the same time eliminate the use of certain resources and pictorial registers that were part of this learnt style. Plastics, cardboard, fabric, paper, in addition to found objects (in a series that I have been developing since 2012) have for me become materials that are more usual than painting itself.
