MIRALDA'S WORK has been made, thought, and addressed to the widest public audience - initiated in the art things or not -, always intends to gather a great number of people around an event or ritual for making them behave, not like passive spectators but active co-participants. His projects try to go beyond the closed circuit of galleries and museums and become an ephemeral work and vehicle of communication within reach of all since it moves the collective memory directly. With his proposals, Miralda is never limited to amuse or to fascinate but from the very beginning until now bases all his work on a reflection and turns it into dialogue ethics and consensus, a meeting place for different towns, different ethnic groups and cultures by making reference to the symbol, the sharp irony, the reduction to the absurd of any arrogance or thirst of dominion, with expressed will of maintaining a rigorous aesthetic and obtaining a total dominion of colour range. From his first Sixties' works, when he made use of gallery circuits and showed his apparently innocuous Soldats Soldés, to his more recent projects addressed to authentic multitudes and characterized by the participation of innumerable collaborators, without whom these projects would not be possible, always his work reflects the same will of communication and critical reflection, to obtain a sensation of peace and tolerance, something that fairly justifies everything what he projects and puts into practice. Perhaps his more excellent quality is to have left his unmistakable mark in spite of the number of collaborators he needs in every project even if they are anonymous or not, rejecting any kitsch temptation maintaining at any moment a point of spiritual elegance and a demanding aesthetic level even in his more committed works. Miralda has taken imagination and creative power to the most varied places, from New York's 9th Avenue to Sidney, Tokyo or Texas, from Paris to New York or Miami (cities that were his three residence places) without never losing sight of Catalonia, to where he has continued to return year after year with new projects not always carried out, by the way. |
