Alex Muen is synesthetic European conceptual artist, based between Spain and the UK. Her light art is a junction of interconnecting layers of emotion, spirituality, materiality, technology and traditional craft.

​

Traditionally trained in Andalucía and Florence, Alex was called to the material side of oil painting.

​

"I loved how oil paint could be applied in transparent or opaque layers, in particular how glazing and colour interacted with light, how a poppy oil glaze could reflect light so strongly you couldn't see the colour it was glazing, hiding the truth under a veil of reflected light."

​

Moving from oil painting to light based work in [2017/8] was a natural progression, mixing both the craft of oil painting with programable LED lights, and projection.

 

" I'm obsessed with all the material aspects of light as a primary medium, how it is dynamic, different colours pulling divergent emotions from the same piece. When light is emitted and projected, rather then merely reflected, the viewer has a different interaction with the work, is enveloping, and transporting, its intrinsically participatory, even before the viewer is given control of the piece "
