Imagining the Everyday: Montserrat Gomez Osuna
We are proud to present Imagining the Everyday, Montse Gómez Osuna’s first exhibition with Isolina Arbulu Gallery. In this body of work, Monse invites us into an intimate world where the everyday becomes quietly enigmatic. Her still lifes unfold in mysterious landscapes, suspended between reality and imagination. Nature, light, and color interact with domestic objects that take on a poetic presence.
Montse works fluidly between painting and ceramics—two languages that echo and enrich one another. Sculptural forms shaped in clay—a bottle, a plate, a glass—appear again in her paintings, as if the objects had slipped into a parallel space of memory and atmosphere. At times, these forms are broken, their fragments reassembled into new, unexpected compositions.
Her creative process is intuitive and open-ended. She begins without sketches, letting each piece unfold gradually from a loosely held idea, guided by instinct and the rhythm of making.
Working from her studio in Madrid—once the space of celebrated painter Lucio Muñoz, her father-in-law and mentor—Montse has developed a practice grounded in discipline, curiosity, and freedom. This exhibition is a testament to that approach: a life of relentless creation, where learning and experimentation never cease.
