This day is life for me, and all of the rest as well, the same. This series speaks of the circularity of everyday days and how in every action we perform, there is light, but also shadow. Thus, each day comes with light to remind us that it begins. The further I go, and as the day progresses, the more shadows are there; inside and outside.

Then I walk back, turn off all the lights, and the ones outside go out; it’s already night. Ending the day. It seems that the shadows no longer follow me on the way home because there is no more light. Could that be the reason why?

Wishing for it to end. Only then do I find calm, in the darkness, but with hope placed again in tomorrow, when it begins anew. They always follow one another, day and night like a wheel, like the lights and shadows within me.

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Madrid, and my practice emerges at the intersection between matter and meaning, unfolding through painting and installation.

María Utzella (Granada, Spain, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Madrid whose work merges painting and installation to explore the relationship between time, materiality, and perception. Her practice reflects on the social constructions of time and productivity, proposing an alternative rhythm grounded in contemplation and transformation.

Shadow occupies a central place as a metaphor in her work: to paint the shadow is to challenge time—to cultivate in the present with faith in the future. By questioning these frameworks, Utzella seeks to reveal how they intensify the scarcity of time and the anxiety of modern life. In response, her paintings and installations create spaces of stillness and introspection, where the perception of time becomes elastic, emotional, and relative.

Utzella holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and has also completed various training programs in performance, writing, and film. Her work has been exhibited in institutions such as Matadero Madrid, the Museum of Costume (Museo del Traje), and Sala La Capilla, and has been part of international projects such as the Art Exchange Festival in Cuba. Her pieces have also been included in auctions, including Zoara’s in 2025, and one of her works is part of a permanent exhibition at the Hotel Prado. She has undertaken artist residencies such as Can Bleu (Formentera) and has participated as a speaker in international conferences on sustainable art.

Through organic materials, translucency, and light, Utzella creates spaces that resist fragmentation and acceleration. Her work cultivates slowness, presence, and rootedness.
