These works feature distinctive geometries that the artist explores repeatedly until making them her own: circles, triangles, intersecting lines, and even references to the musical world, always with rhythmic and intuitive gestures. However, her work is not limited to drawing and engraving, as it also encompasses painting and iron sculpture, always with echoes of Cubism and Constructivism.  \n\nThe artist herself explains that the gestural quality of her work is very similar to the movements she makes in her domestic tasks. Although she avoids any conventional prettiness\u2014her austere and rigorous aesthetic is likely linked to the hardships of her childhood during the post-war period\u2014her work remains intimate and warm. The critic Maria Llu\u00efsa Borr\u00e0s places her, in fact, within the line of Catalan spiritual painting, highlighting her introspection and evocative nature.  \n\nDominica S\u00e1nchez has a long career and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions since the mid-1990s, in museums and galleries both nationally and internationally, especially in France, Switzerland, Germany, and even the United States.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dominicasanchez.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Web Dominica S\u00e1nchez<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1736634769973-9f5cc024-c365-10&#8243; include=&#8221;498,502,506&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominica S\u00e1nchez creates a sober and intimate universe through drawing, painting, and sculpture, where gesture and geometry become forms of contemplation and memory.","protected":false},"featured_media":441,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-862","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":864,"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/862\/revisions\/864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elprincipaldecorsega.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
