  MAYTE VIETA (Blanes, 1971). "A ciegas, campo de margaritas", 2004. Photograph on photographic paper glued to táblex. Limited edition. Numbered 3/3. Attached certificate issued by the artist. Measurements: 97,5 x 247 cm.; 101 x 251 cm. Mayte Vieta graduated in painting and sculpture at the Massana School in Barcelona, although in recent years she has focused mainly on the photographic discourse, taking it beyond its formal and expressive limits. She has received numerous awards (Cañada Blanch, De Fotografía Montrouge), grants (Banesto, Gencat de Creación y Pensamiento, Beca Endesa) and honorable mentions (Ciudad de Albacete, Pamplona...) Since she was vindicated in the nineties as one of the new promises of Spanish art, she has been consolidating a growing recognition and is represented in prestigious collections. To cite a few: Rafael Tous, La Caixa, Banesto, A. Vila Casas, Artium, Leopoldo Rodés, Museo de Teruel. He has repeatedly held individual exhibitions with the following galleries: Juan Silió from Santander, Galería dels Àngels from Barcelona, Galería Maior from Palma de Malorca, Ana Vilaseco from Lisbon, Jorge Shirley from Portugal, among many other individual exhibitions such as: "Cuerpos de luz" at the Fundació Miró (Espai 13, 2009) and Paysages oubliés at Genev'ArtSpace (Geneva, 2012). He has participated in consecutive editions of Art Cologne and ARCO with galería dels Àngels, María Martín de Madrid, Palma 12 de Vilafranca, Fernando Silió, gal. Maior, among others. "My little garden, the cherry tree" was part of the solo exhibition "The transparent look" (2011) held in Gal. Maior in Palma and where he reiterated his leitmotiv: the passage of time, mixing the geological and mythical sense of time with biographical time, experiences and memories. The work in question is part of a photographic series made over the course of years in which he recorded the flowering stages of a cherry tree that his grandfather planted in the garden of his house. The stages of maturation and climatic changes are inextricably linked to the vital phases of the grandfather himself, to his death and to his memory. Those who know how to observe discover in subtle details the evocation of these symbolisms and correspondences.
