Crevillent artist Nati Pamies Díez unveils a new exhibition opening on October 4 in Alicante, showcasing a compelling collection titled Moments on Canvas. The display gathers a thoughtful selection of images that navigate daily life across continents, inviting viewers to observe the small but vivid gestures that define humanity. In these frames, the expressions, gazes, and smiles of people from diverse backgrounds come to the foreground, while the color choices in their clothing add another layer of storytelling. The work invites a quiet reflection on the ordinary moments that often go unnoticed yet accumulate into a rich portrait of our shared world.
The collection centers on the expressive power of childhood. Young subjects offer spontaneity and authenticity in front of the camera, and this body of work captures that immediacy with a fresh, unguarded energy. The photographs are the result of collaborations with volunteers and photographers who set out to document the world with curiosity and care, providing a small, curated glimpse into the diversity that defines our planet. The artist, a recipient of the International Prize at the IX International Miradas 2020 Competition organized biennially by the Jorge Alió Foundation, notes that the selection process this year included one of his pieces as a finalist in the competition. This acknowledgment underscores the recurring resonance of his visual storytelling across different platforms and audiences.
The opening event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 4 at 19:30 and will take place inside the Official College of Physicians of Alicante. The exhibition is presented by COMA Culture Ateneo in partnership with the Jorge Alió Foundation and is located at 47 Avenida de Dénia in Alicante. The setting provides a dynamic backdrop that aligns with the gallery-like atmosphere of the show, inviting visitors to engage with each image in a personal way and to consider the broader themes of portraits, memory, and cultural exchange that thread through Pamies Díez’s work.
Throughout his career, the Crevillent painter has been part of a number of exhibitions, both collective and solo, dating back to 2010. His recent encounters have included appearances in cultural spaces that emphasize contemporary visual storytelling, including a notable presentation at Elche’s Clarissas Cultural Center in late 2022 and early 2023. Those past displays framed his ongoing interest in portraying life from intimate vantage points, often highlighting communities and moments that might otherwise be overlooked in mainstream media. The new show continues this trajectory, offering audiences a rich, meditative exploration of daily life across different geographies while keeping the artist’s signature attention to light, color, and spontaneous human moments at the center of the narrative.
