BIO

Myra Boussinet (Barcelona, 1971) is a Spanish visual artist based in Amsterdam. She holds a Fine Arts degree from the University of Barcelona. After several years working as an art teacher, she returned to full-time studio practice in 2024. During this period, she developed an extensive archive of found materials and photographs through sustained collecting and travel. This accumulated visual lexicon and material archive underpin her present practice, where an evolving visual language is being consolidated.

Working with sculptural assemblage in mixed materials, I use raw wool sourced in the Netherlands, reclaimed fabrics, salvaged wood, debris and found objects as elements of weight, tension and structural instability. My practice focuses on the relationship between material fragility and simple architectural frameworks.

Through processes of fusion, pressure, layering, and structural tension, materials become interdependent and undergo irreversible transformation. I do not impose form; I respond to what is already there. Forms are allowed to remain unstable, exposed or unfinished.

Gravity functions as both physical force and structural condition. Vertical and horizontal axes recur as minimal frameworks capable of holding instability, suspension, and collapse. Organic matter and constructed forms coexist in friction, investigating how systems hold, fail, and transform.
