Today we know that collaboration between different disciplines gives a more multifaceted and enriching vision.
“Dialog with nature” arises from the synergy between artist Regina Saura and architect Rita Roqueta. They investigate new digital art techniques to raise awareness of nature´s value.
“I believe collaboration between different disciplines make projects grow and make them even more interesting,” Regina says.
To enter the art of Regina Saura is to plunge into a Mediterranean pool of vibrant color, light and simple forms.
Spain´s Costa Brava, with its rugged, verdant landscapes is her home and her greatest source of inspiration, defining her vital, uplifting style.
Hers is an energetic palette of clean, joyful hues set against dark or luminous backgrounds. Collage, numbers and letters are often playfully integrated into her work, capturing the magnitude and magic of life with her characteristic, child-like view of the physical world.
Landscapes, forests, urbanscapes and city lights, as well as everyday objects like fruit and flowers, tables and chairs, teapots and teacups, are recurrent images in her art. Her original compositions surprise the viewer with the unexpected placing of an object or a color on the canvas.
Regina’s work is represented in public and private collections throughout Europe, the United States and the Far East, from the St. Petersburg Museum in Moscow to the Caldwell Snyder gallery in San Francisco. She has had more than 70 exhibitions around the world, ranging from London, New York and Tokyo to Colorado, Dusseldorf and Boston. Museums, hospitals and residences house some of her more notable work. Her murals, designed in collaboration with architects, grace the walls of restaurants and shopping malls.
Born in Barcelona, Rita is an architect interested in research and innovation, sustainability, design, artistic interventions, and ephemeral-immersive architecture.
Rita worked five years at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB), teaching in the construction department. She then worked nine years in Vienna and a year in Slovakia, with periods spent in Brazil, Uruguay, Hong Kong, and New York.
She is currently in the Research & Development department of magics and scenography of the Discovery Max television show, Mago Pop. She has also launched a collection of small format furniture with designer Carles Riart, and works in different urban and museum installations.
Winner of sustainability projects such as “Sustainable Sunflowers” at the EPSEVG (Polytechnic School of Engineering of Vilanova i la Geltrú), she has also taken part in many competitions. She has designed everything from a football stadium with a shopping center and hotel, to schools, residential projects, pedestrian bridges, and offices.
