Piece description from the artist
This is the view of Palau Güell's rooftop from the top of Hotel Gaudí, located across the street. The rooftops in Barcelona are sometimes used as additional space. Architect Antonio Gaudí designed these fantastical chimneys, adorning them with colorful tiles and treating them as sculptural forms. At sunset, the lights are beginning to come out while the colors of the tiles and surrounding buildings are still visible.
Nicole Maynard is an artist working across media: painting, drawing, digital, and games. She received an MFA in Painting with a minor in Printmaking from the University of Pennsylvania and is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and Miami. Maynard’s paintings exist at the edge of abstraction and representation, using landscape and imagery such as houses and moving boxes to suggest environments in transition. Her compositions balance structure and spatial illusions, reflecting themes of permanence and impermanence, displacement, and belonging. Architectural ambiguity is conveyed through shifting forms, which play a central role in her process.
