Cinta Vidal Agulló is a Spanish artist and illustrator that lives and works in a small town near Barcelona. Her paintings, acrylic paint on wooden boards, are intricate depictions of the disparity between a person's internal perspective of life and the reality around them. The work is really reminiscent of M.C Escher's gravity-defying lithographs in which all available angles and surfaces are inhabited by characters. Agulló's paintings are built with tiny brushstrokes over days in her two-room studio above her family toy shop, and every one of them is beautiful and detailed and complex and textured and I'm obsessed with them I want them all.

Relativity (1953), one of M.C Escher's best known lithographs. Also a massive mindfuck.

Agulló's paintings also bring to mind the idea of intersecting lives and experiences; the characters in these paintings seem independent, but we can see that each platform connects and each figure's life has ties with that of another.
