“RACONS DE MAR I MUNTANYA” by Pepita Masafrets

“Racons de mar i muntanya”.

With this exhibition, Pepita reflects the fascination she feels for the charm of the facades of small towns and old neighborhoods of cities, both in the mountains and on the coast, with their irregular and worn stones. Pepita reproduces the facades, the details of the doors, the windows, the doorways, etc. with recycled materials, of the different places she visits.

She is a music teacher and although her studies are focused on music, she can’t remember her life without tools in her hands. When she was a child her father taught him to work with wood, since then she has not stopped shaping her ideas with all kinds of materials.

In 2007 an old window frame came into her hands, she reproduced with original and recycled materials the façade of her partner’s town, a small village in the Pyrenees, Ochagavia. Thus began her project “Puertas del Pirineo”. Doors of the Pyrenees have the stamp of the Catalan Government, “Emprentas de Catalunya”.

She likes to give old objects and materials a second life and see how a dirty old window becomes a precious piece. All the materials she uses, stone, wood, chalk, are recycled, depending on the materials she can find.
