This year we are continuing with the idea that we began in 2022, with Mari Chordà, of allowing an artist to wish everyone a Happy New Year with a work from the MNAC’s collection.

In 2023, Sílvia Gubern is the protagonist of the New Year’s wish. The artist has chosen the Romanesque mural paintings from Taüll, in the year we are celebrating the 900th anniversary of the consecration of the churches of Sant Climent and Santa Maria in Taüll, and the centenary of the arrival of these paintings, masterpieces of universal art, in the Museum.

The artist and poetess Sílvia Gubern (Barcelona, 1941) was, in the late 1960s, one of the pioneers of conceptual art and performance, often on the threshold of dematerialization. Gubern has created a singular poetry based on a visionary symbolism of mystical projections. Nature and the cosmos are the horizon of her work. She has used glass and drawing as the medium for a humanistic and at the same time a transcendental interpretation of reality, in the search for an age-old utopian wisdom.

Discover the work chosen by Sílvia Gubern in this video. And with which work from the museum would you wish everyone a Happy New Year? Share it on the networks with the hashtag #NadalaMNAC
