<div>&nbsp;Trovare la bellezza in ciò che ci circonda e definire il momento semplicemente con gli oggetti attraverso la pittura sono le due grandi ossessioni di Marta Lapeña. Le sue composizioni, generate da elementi che lei stessa trova, colleziona e fotografa, hanno determinate caratteristiche che le rendono uniche: la luce, il colore, il luogo e la sua visione.&nbsp;<br>_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>Finding beauty in what surrounds us and defining the moment simply with objects through painting are the two great obsessions of Marta Lapeña.
