Drawing what I feel
DRAWING
WHAT I FEEL
The universe of Reluet is made up of works that together build the imaginary of the work.
Each one represents a distinctive aspect that is born from the artist’s mind to represent the ideals of resilience, reinvention and courage.
Doubting
This work conceptually turns to doubts. Alludes to reflective thinking. A path of movement that requires courage, approving decisions, being grateful, trusting, being consistent and vibrating from feeling.
Reflection of the artist:
“The day your head clicks is when you say to yourself, if only I had done this sooner.
Before was not the moment. The time is today.
Please don’t fool yourself.
Move forward laughing at doubts, with determination, and without haste.
If you don’t try, don’t cry because you will never be able to say that you are not capable.
I gave myself a chance and I trusted in me”.
Learning
This work conceptually revolves around learning. It alludes to thought by materializing it with a precious stone, a diamond. An indestructible stone, impressive in its formations and of unparalleled brilliance.
Reflection of the artist:
“The most precious stone lies in your thoughts and your feet are the tool to find it in this beautiful tunnel of learning. Play, experiment and wake up.”
Capricious world
Reluet’s work conceptually revolves around the capricious world in which we live.
For the artist, the swamp was the loss of dreams that the water took away from her and now they revive through art under her pseudonym Reluet, the reverse of the name of her home, Cal Teuler, in Miralpeix.
Reflection of the artist:
“Define, feel, act and navigate what you want in a capricious world.
I had to repeat the exam many times and look how easy it was. The answer was to listen to myself. I think that if we get complicated it is because we are not one hundred percent sure of ourselves. We are our teacher and student.”
The Phoenix Bird
Reluet’s work conceptually revolves around the myth of the Phoenix Bird due to its symbolism of hope and regeneration, becoming the center of artistic imagination. The Phoenix invites us to reflect on death and memory.
In this work, the artist also addresses social consciousness, connecting people’s souls with individual and collective identity, intertwining their history with the present.
Reflection of the artist:
“Decide freely by land, sea and air. A rooster pecking at what he likes. A fish and a bird flowing in harmony of movement.
Don’t let them decide for you.
If you do, your smile is erased from your face.”
Take the risk and decide.”
The river of rediscovery
For the artist, the heart of rediscovering is the river. It alludes to freedom, to flow, letting go, detaching and trusting oneself.
It entails his home in Miralpeix when he opened the window and heard the water colliding with the rocks polished over the years. An ancestral house in which many generations had shared the same place and dreamed of.
Reflection of the artist:
“We are unique rivers, we join other rivers and form a beautiful confluence.”

Be yourself
This work conceptually revolves around being yourself. It alludes to the body by materializing it with a lighthouse and being grateful that we are not perfect.
Reflection of the artist:
“The temple, your home, your body, a work in motion. The lighthouse that illuminates your path of beautiful impurities. The greatness of being imperfect, the success.”
Purpose
This work conceptually turns to the purpose. Alludes to enjoyment by materializing it with a vehicle
Reflection of the artist:
“You are the vehicle of your life and you attract what you want. You just owe justifications to yourself. Criticism is a reflection of how those people see the world. Run, shine, walk, make mistakes, fight, stand, shout, you are free.”
Gratitude
This work conceptually revolves around gratitude. It alludes to life as a game of numbers, giving and receiving, when we decide to be free and learn to do what we feel without looking for the moment, only fulfillment, happiness.
Reflection of the artist:
“If you don’t try, how will you know you’re not capable?”
Important dates
This work conceptually revolves around important dates that represent social value. It alludes to celebrations as a pleasant flavor, intensely bright, elusive and impossible to usurp between darkness and light. Events, a spectrum of colors.
The artist’s family in 1995, for San José, gave the keys to their home, Cal Teuler to the Confederation of the Ebro and in 1999 their feet said goodbye to the streets of their town, Miralpeix, along with other families from 5 more towns Tiurana, La Clua, Bassella, Castellnou de Basella and Aguilar.
Reflection of the artist:
“Finding yourself again is investing in your long-distance career. Don’t be discouraged, keep going because you know very well that you can achieve what you decide. The world is drawn by feeling, moving like the air, and investing in what appreciates patience.
Be patient, do not rush, hold your tongue and remember that flowers do not bloom before the date.”
Forgiving
This work conceptually revolves around forgiveness It alludes to peace and materializes with a draft the meeting point to reflect with oneself and move forward without judgment.
Reflection of the artist:
“Learn to unlearn because life is a tricky and tireless teacher. Ask yourself the same questions again, changing the order until you pass and go for others.”
Empower
This work conceptually revolves around empowerment. It alludes to the crossroads of life and materializes them with a broom sweeping free of charge.
Reflection of the artist:
“Go for it, don’t look, surf. The time to go out is today.”
Freedom
This work conceptually revolves around being passionate about who you are. It alludes to life as momentary.
Reflection of the artist:
“What seems impossible is possible. It doesn’t matter how to get there. What matters is getting there.”
To allow
This work conceptually revolves around allowing you. It refers to leaving behind the limits of what is known and rediscovering new perspectives, being aware that you are part of the mechanism of what surrounds you.
Reflection of the artist:
“Success is not getting in, it’s getting out. Reprogram your software and look in the mirror. Be yourself and allow yourself to dream big by achieving what you long for.”
Generations
This work conceptually revolves around generations. It refers to distances traveled united by the same bond.
Reflection of the artist:
“Cultivate your code by taking action to show that you have been there. The only provider is you.”
Success
This work conceptually revolves around the decision, a long-distance race. It refers to direction as a determining, deep, conscious and direct state that comes from within and culminates in success. Its inspiration is the place name of its beloved town Miralpeix “to look” and “fish”.
The artist’s background career, thirteen years, a peak and a goal, peace.
Reflection of the artist:
“The decision, the most beautiful color chosen by you. Do not cling to that color if it is altered by someone else’s exposure. Let it flow, let it transform because it is a learning experience.”
Restlessness
This work conceptually turns to restlessness. It alludes to courage, an open channel that our eyes do not see.
Reflection of the artist:
“Adjust your steps, but not your dreams because it is never too late. Enjoy what resonates with you, it has chosen you.”
