"Carla Mura is a painter, but her paintings show no trace of the sign. The cotton thread thus replaces acrylics and oils in surprisingly harmonious colour and balanced visual composition.”
Luca Beatrice
Carla Mura began working with unusual m aterials from the early 2000s. It is with the discovery of the cotton thread that the artist's work has entered a phase of full maturation. Although starting from a figurative base, the artist has almost completely deviated from it over time, "reinventing" and freezing the forms of the landscape and of our visual memory in a grid of abstract elements with intricate geometries, with compositions formed by juxtaposition in general and the juxtaposition of the different wires in particular.

The forms of the world, as we know them, are reduced to geometric - volumetric structures, made of planes, lines, angles and horizons. In this sense, the work of Carla Mura basically becomes an operation of subtraction, of synthesis and an inexhaustible search for the fundamen tal planes of reality. However, the work of the artist does not stop, and does not reduce, to a mere operation of arithmetical - volumetric synthesis. Her poetic strength, occurs precisely through the articulation of the play of colour, on the one hand, and the tactility of the material on the other. It is here, in this ambiguity of vision, that Carla Mura stages her game of hide - and - seek with the eye of the spectator, eternally suspended between the internal rigor of the architecture of the work and the extraordinary evanescence of matter and colour.
Carla Mura was born in Cagliari in 1973. After a long period of only painting begins to realize his works using a new material from her loved the thread. He currently lives and works in Veneto. She has participated in several solo and group exhibitions in museums and public institutions in Italy and abroad. Turin, Rome, Naples, Paris and Russia some places where she has exhibited.
