Love Story Original Painting by Nuria Oliva

Love Story adds a note of romance to Nuria Oliva's practice of memory and home. It sits naturally beside her family-centered works — Recolectar y cocinar con la Abuela, the Piezas de lo que somos series — where affection and femininity are recurring subjects. Here the everyday tenderness she paints turns explicitly toward love, told as something ordinary and kept rather than dramatic.

The painting is acrylic, pastel, and oil on cotton canvas at 99 by 92 cm, nearly square. Oliva layers the three media into a tactile surface — pastel dragging over oil, the cotton weave surfacing through — so the image feels handled and warm. The balance of the near-square format keeps the composition intimate and settled.
