On April 8, 2024, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Abel Bernardo, Audiovisual Producer Director of the Momentos channel on YouTube, a cultural YouTube channel that is broadcast from Chicago, United States, and Director of the art magazine Chicago Modern Art.
A magazine that showcases the best artwork from artists around the world and brings their work to a global audience. Art has the power to connect people across borders and cultures and they are committed to promoting diverse voices and perspectives for art lovers, collectors or simply someone who appreciates beauty and creativity.
Don’t hold on, move forward, flow and cultivate your authenticity. The wisdom of the past is a great learning.
The most important goal is to have left.
Interview transcript
Núria Companys Castro is a prominent multidisciplinary artist and founder of the “Resilient Art Movement” with her project called RELUET.
Nuria has completed university studies in Human Resources, obtaining a Diploma, and a Master in Human Resources Management. Her work includes mainly painting, illustration, and sculpture, and has been presented in numerous exhibitions.
“Reluet” is based on the narrative of her house, “Cal Teuler”, in a village that was submerged under the water of a swamp. The name comes from “Teuler” read backwards, where Reluet is born after the loss of a home. In the town, called Miralpeix, was the place where Núria Companys lived her childhood until she was thirteen years old. At that time, together with her family, she had to start looking for a new home.
In her artistic process, the artist takes elements considered inanimate, such as a door, a window or a chair, that she was able to take from her home at Cal Teuler, and gives them a new life through art.
In her work, three main themes can be identified: reinvention, resilience, and bravery. These themes reflect the artist’s experience of leaving her home behind and rebuilding her life in a new environment.
Reinvention is manifested in her ability to give new life and meaning to seemingly forgotten objects.
Resilience is reflected in her ability to overcome challenges and adapt to new circumstances.
Her willingness to explore and express herself through art shows bravery, sharing her story and emotions with the audience.
“Life is light.
Darkness is beauty.
I choose the light.
No matter how many times I fall, I will always get back up with a smile.
I will never fall back into darkness.
I will seek the light, no matter how difficult it may be.”
“We are unique rivers that come together with other rivers and give rise to a beautiful confluence”.
