Cristina Babiloni, Ecos de Vida
Opera Gallery Madrid is delighted to unveil 'Ecos de Vida', a solo exhibition featuring new paintings and sculptures by Cristina Babiloni.
Presented from 15 January to 14 February 2026, the exhibition brings together works that reveal the Castellón-born artist’s profound connection with the natural world—most notably the ocean and its vibrant marine life.
Using materials such as burlap, sand, acrylic paint, cardboard, ceramics, and methacrylate, Babiloni constructs evocative, imagined marine ecosystems. Her most recent pieces expand this vision to include terrestrial landscapes—volcanoes, earth, and raw geological formations—creating dialogues between land and sea.
'Ecos de Vida' highlights the artist’s enduring themes: elemental materials rooted in nature, a gestural and tactile approach to making, and a poetic awareness of time, expressed through surfaces that recall sedimentation, erosion, and other organic processes.
Blurring the boundaries between painting and sculpture, Babiloni’s work captures the shifting rhythms of the natural world—an ever-evolving ecosystem brought to life in form, texture, and movement.
