Using a vibrant palette and an amalgamation of watercolour, acrylic, and oil, Moya Rojo incorporates autobiographical, historical, architectural, and religious imagery with a rural sensibility. Initially employing digital techniques, she meticulously crafts dreamlike scenes in her canvases, which blur the boundary between inner and outer space. Her motifs mutate and seamlessly blend with their unspecified surroundings, blurring distinctions between self and other. Moya Rojo’s works soften the artificiality of man-made constructs, merging them with the natural, each element flowing weightlessly. Her compositions evoke old master still lifes with a nod to the surreal, incorporating endemic plants and ritualistic items rich with symbolic significance. Despite their static appearance, Moya Rojo’s paintings radiate life and resonate with an energy transcending earthly realms. Through a continuous metamorphosis, internal and external forces in her paintings render the familiar foreign and the foreign eerily familiar.
