MADINA TALBERG \u2013 CREATIVE MOVEMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n

Welcome to \u00abCreative Movement\u00bb, an initiative by La Clandestina de Poblenou dedicated to showcasing non-resident artists and their fascinating work. Each month, a new creator has the opportunity to exhibit their work in our space, offering the public a diverse and personal look at contemporary art.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, we are pleased to present Madina Talberg<\/a><\/strong>, a multidisciplinary artist who works with altered photography, embroidery and graphic experimentation. Her practice focuses on memory, intimacy and the traces of time, transforming existing materials into new visual narratives full of emotion and subtlety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARTISTIC VISION:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> To begin, could you share with our readers your artistic vision and how you define yourself as a creator? Is there a particular message or theme you try to convey through your work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> For me, art is a way of creating a dialogue with memory, intimacy and the everyday. I work a lot from intuition, letting images and ideas guide me rather than forcing them into a fixed plan. I'm drawn to working with existing material \u2014 old photographs, personal archives, found objects \u2014 and transforming it through embroidery, drawing or graphic experimentation.
I see myself as a creator who builds bridges between the visible and the invisible, between what we remember and what we choose to forget. Through my work, I try to convey the idea that every image holds multiple lives, stories and emotions that can be reactivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSPIRATION AND CREATIVE PROCESS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> Speaking of your creative process, where do you find inspiration for your work? Is there any ritual or routine you follow before you start creating?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> I find inspiration in emotions linked to absence, nostalgia and memory. Everyday spaces and personal memories are often the starting point of my work, as I'm drawn to the traces people and moments leave behind.
My process begins with observation; I collect images and let them rest until I feel the need to intervene in them. Embroidering on photographs, for example, comes from that search to add another layer of time and meaning to something that seemed already complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FEATURED PROJECTS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> Now, we'd love to know more about your most recent projects. Could you share one or two projects you've worked on and are especially proud of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> One of my most significant projects is my series of embroidered photographs<\/strong>, which allows me to rewrite narratives and reflect on how memory is constantly being reconstructed.
Another piece of work I'm especially proud of is my self-published zine Will I Ever Call This Place Home<\/em>, where I explore the experience of moving to another country, missing home and questioning the meaning of \u201chome\u201d when you live as an immigrant. It was an exercise in creative freedom, but also a very personal reflection on identity and belonging.
Recently, I've been experimenting with hand-poke tattoos and linocut stamps<\/strong>, which has allowed me to work directly with the body and think of skin as a new artistic surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHALLENGES AND LESSONS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> Throughout your career, you've surely faced challenges. Could you share a particularly challenging experience and how it influenced your artistic development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> One of my biggest challenges has been accepting the slow pace of my projects. My process is intuitive and takes time, and I've sometimes felt pressure to produce faster, especially with the immediacy social media demands.
Another challenge has been working with a subtle visual language rather than a louder one. My pieces don't seek immediate impact; they unfold quietly and slowly. Over time, I've learned that this slowness and discretion are essential to my practice: they let me create more intimate, reflective pieces that are true to who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PERSPECTIVES AND THE ART COMMUNITY:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Question:<\/strong> Art often reflects society and culture. How do you see your role as an artist in the community? And what do you think about the current direction of art and its impact on society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> Much of my work starts from forgotten or overlooked materials, which I try to give a second life. By transforming these remnants, I try to show that what is hidden or discarded can still have meaning, and that revisiting the past can open up new perspectives.
I'm also fascinated by how art is becoming more accessible. Independent platforms and social media allow diverse voices to emerge outside traditional circuits, widening access and enriching cultural conversations. This shift makes it possible for art to connect with people in ways that are both personal and collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
