Painting in a fantastic or symbolic style with rich colors, without recognizable human figures.

Patrícia Soler, an artist based in Roses, has reported losing access to over 900 pieces of her life's work, which were intended to form the core collection of a future House Museum.

With a style that combines fantastic realism, hyperrealism, and symbolism, the work of Patrícia Soler speaks of light, beauty, and resilience. The artist, born in Roses in 1979, has turned painting into a tool for emotional survival, despite the complex personal history that has marked her career.
Her struggle centers on the loss of her workshop and the inability to access her life's collection, which includes over nine hundred pieces, some of large format. This space had been conceived by the artist as the future House Museum to showcase her work to the public.

"Currently, I do not have access to a large part of my life's work, more than nine hundred pieces, some of large format."

Since 2023, Soler claims to have lost the use of this space. Furthermore, she maintains that some of her works have been sold or damaged without her consent, facts she intends to pursue through legal channels to recover her legacy.
Despite these obstacles, Patrícia Soler continues to create, currently preparing work for an exhibition linked to the Carnival organized by the Roses City Council. Her work, appreciated regionally and internationally (France, Monaco, Italy, and Cuba), serves as a refuge and a claim for freedom of expression.

"Creating helps me maintain balance and take care of my mental health. I try to put beauty where there is darkness."
