This is how the opening of “Lumière de l’Âme” by REMED went
It took place on March 2nd at El Invernadero and the exhibition will be open until March 27th.
“The Light of the Soul” is a worldview, a way of understanding how the world is organized and what place humankind occupies within it. REMED’s work connects with collective memory and a shared consciousness that situates us as part of a whole. In her visual universe, a unique territory is configured where a sensitive order emerges: a system of meaning revealed through an intimate, coherent, and recognizable language throughout her work. This vision is built from the origin. Woman appears as a primordial archetype, a creative principle. The body is presented as a threshold where life begins and as a sphere of containment where consciousness dwells and temporarily interacts with matter before returning to the origin. Woman is the source: the place where the beginning resides. In her, the memory of life is concentrated.
It is not merely a body offered to the gaze, but a symbolic structure, a temple that houses thought, emotion, and memory. More earthly concepts such as beauty, desire, and intimacy meet the depths of the soul. From this essential core, thought becomes conscious, not as an abstract idea, but as energy that expands and connects the intimate with the universal. Cognition and the perception of possible interactions with the universe are born. Body and thought converge. Matter sustains; consciousness illuminates. The human being is recognized as part of a greater order, where the individual and the other are not separate, but rather form part of the same unity.
REMED’s work exerts an immediate and profoundly stimulating magnetism on the viewer. Initially, we are drawn to the color and the sensuality of the forms of his figures. As we delve deeper into his creations, we begin to appreciate the harmony, becoming imbued with the beauty of the scene, and imagining the context and the timeless narrative. In his compositions, he eliminates any architectural distractions, focusing on the act itself, which further invites us to imagine.
This exhibition proposes a spiritual perspective in its highest sense: an interconnected reality where everything is related. A field of experience where art acts as a bridge between what we are and that which transcends us.
Beauty is the revelation of a profound order that has always resided within us. We are part of a whole.
From March 3rd, the exhibition is open to visitors from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, closed Sundays, and will run until March 27th.
Location: El Invernadero, San Lorenzo, 11, Patio, 28004 Madrid
In some of her works, symbolic parallels with Old Masters appear. She reinterprets references such as Ingres’s “Le Bain Turc” or “Le Bain de Diane” in Palma le Vieux, where the female body gathers away from any external gaze. The choral arrangement of the figures and the use of color allude to a tradition that, influenced by Gauguin’s legacy in works like “Where Do We Come From,” is transformed here into a more symbolic presence, closer to song and inner landscape than to the original historical scene. In these interpretations, there is an aura of mystery that transforms a shared and intimate everyday act into something extraordinary.
The presence of the sea permeates this vision. Since moving to Cantabria, water has become essential in her work: a metaphor for the flow of life, for permanence, and for change. The sea acts as a reflection of consciousness and collective memory, a space where forms merge. Matter and spirit, depth and surface, silence and movement.
Painter, sculptor, and poet, REMED’s work unfolds as a manifesto of hope. His practice appeals to a conscious vision of the world, where “Love” acts as a guiding thread and unifying principle. Omnipresent, humble, and essential, “Love” does not intoxicate: it illuminates. “It is true, it is here. It is the other and it is me.”
The highlight of the evening was an incredible performance directed by Macarena Girón, featuring dancer Inés Valderas. The historic Greenhouse was transformed into a veritable light box for the occasion. The performance blurred the boundaries between painting, words, and movement. Inés, enveloped in a spectacular, exclusive design by AYT Studio, whose prints directly engaged with Remed’s symbolism, embodied the Muse in a narrative that began with the whisper of a poem and culminated in a complete fusion of body and canvas.
The audience witnessed the scene through the greenhouse’s glass windows, where the choreography unfolded on two levels: while Remed wrote verses on the ground-floor panes, Inés awoke on the upper level like an ethereal apparition. Under Macarena Girón’s direction, the dance transcended mere interpretation, becoming the final touch that completed the French artist’s work.
The opening was a resounding success. It welcomed the most prominent figures in Madrid’s art scene, where media, collectors, designers, architects, artists, clients, and friends enjoyed an incredible evening hosted by the artists; the finest catering by BeChic, wines from D.O. Rueda and Bodegas Bela, Alhambra beers, and top-notch sound courtesy of Bang & Olufsen, presented by Love Your Time.
