In Dancing Skirt, Jordi Machi builds a scene of great visual energy from a fragmented female figure, captured in full gesture of movement. The skirt, open like a fan, becomes the real dynamic center of the composition, where painting, collage, line and texture generate an almost scenic vibration.

The intense red background enhances the presence of the figure and reinforces the sense of theatricality, while the whites, pinks, greens and blacks introduce hallmarks of great vitality. The work combines a free pictorial gesturality with graphic and textile elements, creating an image between the figurative, the pop and the emotional. More than representing a dance, Machí seems to capture the suspended instant of an identity in transformation: body, movement, memory and desire converted into a pictorial surface.

Jordi Machí is a Spanish visual artist with a degree in Fine Arts from the Universitat Politècnica de València, with training also at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and the Universidade de São Paulo. His language explores the intersection between imagination, emotional memory and popular culture, giving rise to compositions with a strong narrative and symbolic charge. After initiating an international projection from his exhibitions in Lebanon, his work has been presented in Europe, Brazil, United States, Mexico and Asia.

His recent solo exhibitions include Jordi Machí at Casa de Vacas, Parque del Retiro, Madrid (2020), Amor Líquido at Fundación Ibero-América with MADO, Madrid (2022), The Fing Tomorrow** at Galería Cuatro, Valencia (2023), Geometría del Alma at Galería Cuatro, Valencia (2025), and Villa Esperanza at ACE Hotel Swimming Club, Athens (2026). He has also participated in fairs and group exhibitions such as ARTMADRID and Estampa in Madrid, One Art Fair in Taipei, AART FAIR in Shenzhen and RARO with Lucie Chang Fine Arts in Hong Kong.
