Magdalena Murua creates intricate collages from fragments of comic books like Hulk, Batman, and Archie, transforming them into abstract, geometric, and op-art compositions. From a distance, her works pulse with optical rhythm; up close, they reveal a dense network of perforated and reimagined cultural imagery. Her process balances precision and spontaneity. While invisible lines and golden ratios organize the surface, intuition and chance ultimately guide the final form.

As comic books, one of Murua’s childhood joys, fade as a cultural medium, she reclaims them to share that same sense of wonder and delight with others. In her hands, familiar fragments shed their original meanings, taking on new spiritual and playful resonance, becoming vibrant fields where nostalgia, structure, and imagination coexist.
