In Alma, Jordi Machi articulates a powerful figurative image where the portrait merges with lush vegetation, turning the body into emotional and symbolic territory. The male figure, with closed eyes and introspective gesture, seems to emerge from an interior space in which flowers, leaves and pictorial fragments act as a metaphor of renewal, memory and latent life.

The turquoise background provides an enveloping luminosity and contrasts with the chromatic intensity of the greens, pinks, yellows and reds that cross the composition. Machí combines acrylic and collage with a free, fragmented and expressive brushstroke, generating an image of great material richness. The work oscillates between the intimate and the monumental: a psychological portrait where nature, body and emotion are integrated in the same visual breath.

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.
