Description of the work
The artwork With my feet on the moon and my head on the earth, gold and chocolate by the artist Inés Valls Fortuny.
Measures: 70 cm diameter.
Technique: Mixed media on round canvas.
Luna Collection is inspired by the magic and light that the moon gives off in its fullest phase. The full moon is powerful, transmitting energy, calm and inner strength. With this piece I wish to immortalize the magic that captivates us and move all our own Univers, putting our feet on the moon and the head on the earth.
Starting from a textured base with clay and a palette of neutral powdery tones and black and white fragments, I recreate the movement and shapes of the full moon in its splendor. Pigments in old gold dot the circular piece, creating strokes of a
strong but harmonious paint, providing a continuous cosmic movement. The original piece is painted on cotton canvas on a circular wooden frame measuring 70 cm in diameter.
Unique work signed on the front and ready to hang. As in all my work, beyond the decoration of a space, I aim to transmit sensations, awaken beautiful feelings.
I hope you enjoy your unique full moon very much.

Artist biography
Inés Valls Fortuny
Inés Vallsfortuny, born and settled in Barcelona.
Its language is abstract and is inspired by the elements of nature and the feelings they provoke in us
Life and love, calm and passion. Movement and rest.
Through a style characterized by texture, mixed media on canvas, and the use of gold and silver pigments, she captures precise moments that recreate aerial views of moving oceans, splashing wild beaches, dives into incredible seabeds, and the full moon in its most magical phase, along with amazing pink skies and a neutral palette that evokes eternal pieces of the sky
Her way of working is very close and personal.
She believes that the entire artistic process is a three-way dialogue:
“what I want to project, what the painting itself conveys through its personality, and the feelings that the piece evokes in the people who look at it”
“When that dialogue flows, it’s the most wonderful thing that can happen to me as an artist”
In terms of technique, the use of gold and silver allows the frame to take on very different dimensions that can be seen from three positions. Right, left and front.
Depending on the light that is reflected in the painting at that moment, the sparks are perceived in one way or another, giving movement and life to the work of art.
From pure intuition, without planning anything, she lets her own brushes and palettes guide her to create lively, timeless, exclusive and attractive collections in search of balance and harmony with the environment.
