Myra Boussinet is a Spanish visual artist based in Amsterdam. She holds a Fine Arts degree from the University of Barcelona. After many years working in art education, a profound personal turning point led her back to her artistic practice, where she investigates how we inhabit absence, endure rupture and rebuild meaning in moments of uncertainty.

She began developing her current body of work in 2024 and is now consolidating a practice grounded in material enquiry and an evolving visual language.

Adversity dismantles the familiar and exposes a more direct version of reality. When the systems that structure our lives collapse and identity becomes unstable, we enter a threshold where the usual coordinates disappear and a harsher, more elemental order shows itself — and gives way to the obscene chaos Herzog reveals with such precision.

My practice is not refuge but a counterweight: a dimension where things can spill out, settle and take shape. It becomes a quiet discipline for staying with what is unbearable. In this frame, play becomes the most serious mode of meaning-making — a way to remain grounded when fragility becomes visible.

My work draws on symbolic and archetypal undercurrents, tracing the aftermath of loss and the disruptive metamorphoses that follow. Unprocessed sheep wool, reclaimed fabrics, discarded materials, and found objects shape their own dialogues; their tensions guide the forms, unfolding through processes of layering, friction, binding, combining, tearing and wrapping.

Amid ecological unease and digital saturation, these “waste” materials offer their own resistance — a return to tactility and depth. They counter a suffocating culture of exposure that accelerates, dematerializes, and elevates surface over substance.
