Step into the studio of Magdalena Morey, where colour, movement and emotion come together in every brushstroke. Based in the wild northern hills of Asturias, Spain, Morey’s workspace is not just a place to paint, it’s a living environment that deeply influences her artistic process and the way her figurative mixed-media paintings evolve.
In the studio, Morey works intuitively. Surrounded by natural light and the rugged landscape that inspires her. Morey sees emotions as colour, she responds to internal impressions, memories and sensation. Her figurative art is rooted in this open-ended exploration, where gesture, colour and texture speak before form does.
Where Movement and Memory Meet
Morey’s studio practice emphasises rhythm and flow. With each layer of paint, pastel or mark, she searches for connection, not just between shapes on a canvas, but between the emotional core of the work and the viewer’s experience. Her lines often resemble threads or roots, echoing the ties that bind memory to movement.
Rather than completing a painting in a linear way, Morey lets works evolve. Some areas become focused and richly detailed, while others remain softer and suggestive. In this dynamic interplay, the studio becomes a place where unfinished impulses find expression through colour and form.
A Studio Resonating with Nature
The physical space of Morey’s atelier mirrors her artistic intentions. Natural textures, shifting light and the proximity of forests and fields seep into her work. In the quiet of her studio, these influences help forge compositions that feel alive and deeply personal, as though the environment itself were a collaborator.
This connection to nature and environment is what makes her figurative paintings resonate so strongly. Here, human form and the broader rhythms of life are inseparable captured in multi-layered surfaces that reflect both inner and outer worlds.
