Vicky Barranguet is an Argentine contemporary artist whose practice centers on abstraction as a means of exploring emotion, memory, and the inner landscape. Her work is characterized by fluid forms, layered surfaces, and a refined use of color that creates a sense of movement and introspection. Rather than relying on overt narrative, Barranguet’s paintings invite the viewer into a contemplative space where gesture, rhythm, and balance take precedence. Her compositions often emerge through an intuitive, process-driven approach, allowing forms to develop organically over time. Subtle shifts in tone and texture play a crucial role in her work, giving each piece depth and a quiet emotional charge. The resulting paintings feel atmospheric and immersive, offering a visual experience that evolves with prolonged viewing. Barranguet’s work bridges sensitivity and strength, combining expressive freedom with compositional clarity. This balance allows her paintings to function both as autonomous works of art and as powerful elements within contemporary interiors. Rooted in abstraction yet deeply human, her practice reflects a sustained investigation into presence, perception, and the emotional resonance of form and color.
