On June 10, 2023, the exhibition "Dreamers", which presented the sculptures, paintings, and drawings of extraordinary artistic pair – Xavier Escala and Nina Murashkina, opened at Barcelona’s Gallery of Ukrainian contemporary art, Test Gallery. The title of the exhibition refers to the artists themselves: people who dream, and they both do it together, day by day. The artists have to put limits to their dreams, within their means and capabilities, because reality is like this: it demands concreteness, a limited object. And the imagination is divine, magical, and unattainable. For artists, dreaming does not mean escaping reality, nor forgetting it in a playful, unproductive runaway. Imagination is not fantasy: imagination creates, and fantasy makes games, whims, and adventures, like shapes that appear in the clouds for a moment, and then are lost in endless metamorphosis. «Step into the extraordinary realm of artistic enchantment created by the inseparable duo of Nina Murashkina and Xavier Escala. Their lives and their art are intricately intertwined, resulting in a harmonious fusion where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Whether you engage in conversation with them or immerse yourself in their captivating artworks, you will be transported to a world of vibrant fantasies, sensual allure, and a unique interpretation of reality” – says curator of Test gallery Kateryna Pidhaina.
