This collaboration full of color at the hand of Barcelona artist Santi Moix explores the parallelism between life and death through his biomorphic flowers. His use of color goes beyond the merely decorative: it is the resource to enhance and attenuate certain details while paying special attention to in-betweens; those intermediate processes in flowers such as the moments before their birth, their explosion of color or their decay.
Backyard is a literal representation of one of Moix's works, in which the original piece has been transferred as reliably as possible to a rug. Its name refers to the natural space behind a house, where the flora is wilder. Hence it is a mural with a messier approach where flowers are presented on a spectacular scale. Its lines in low relief reflect the pencil sketches of the painting.
he Promenade model is an exercise in reinterpreting the artist's floral work transferred to the rug. The nanimarquina team has worked carefully on the selection of each of the flowers, paying special attention to the scale and color in search of the appropriate compositional balance to ensure that Promenade is integrated and coexists in multiple spaces. It is also worth remarking its wide range composed of 38 different colors, an exhaustive chromatic work.
The smaller models called Bloom are the extraction of Promenade flowers as separate pieces. They represent two moments in the life cycle of a flower: wilting and flowering. They are combinable with each other and also complement the Colors collection.

Santi Moix
Santi Moix i Sala was born in Barcelona in 1960. He devotes himself to sculpture, drawing and engraving in his studio in New York, although painting is his main focus.
His obsession is telling stories to develop his imagination, without losing his sense of humour. A multi-faceted creator and observer, he is enamoured of 15th-century Indian painting and finds his sources of inspiration in masters such as Delacroix, Velázquez, El Greco, Picasso, Miró, Pollock and Mutzuo Takahashi, as well as literature.
At the age of 14, he left to study in Paris and then in Italy, where he met Federico Fellini. In 1981, he held his first solo exhibition in a small space in Sant Cugat del Vallès. Later, in 1986, he was able to travel to New York thanks to the sale of one of his paintings.
He has had solo exhibitions in the United States, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Japan and France, among other countries, as well as group exhibitions in the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Brazil and Germany, to name but a few of the most important.
Moix gained international recognition in 2013 when Prada commissioned a large-scale mural for its Soho shop in New York. Over the years, the artist has held several exhibitions around the world. In 2018, he made his famous pictorial intervention in the church of Seuri and recently exhibited at the Pace Prints gallery in New York.
