20th-21st Century Spanish

This painter from Valencia enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona in 1960, after which she moved to Madrid, where she furthered her studies and took part in the Seminar on the Automatic Generation of Plastic Forms at the Computer Centre at Universidad Complutense in Madrid (1969-1971). During this formative period, she also received scholarships from Fundación Juan March and Harvard University.

From the eighties onwards her painting combined and to achieve a personal brand of that, rather that rational and cold as is usually associated with this style, was actually poetical and spiritual. In her investigation into the limits of painting, always in search of its essence, she often works in series. In them, she recreates distinct vibrations of light, thus managing to produce spaces of mystical experience.

As a complementary strategy, she also explores the three dimensions through the medium of installation in which space, light, colour and time as the core concerns.

Her work is to be found in many major collections and has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Spain and around the world. These include site-specific installations like the one for Castillo de Vélez-Blanco in Almería, the Palacio de Cristal in the Retiro Park in Madrid (organized by Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía) and the National Sculpture Museum in Valladolid.

In addition, she has received several important awards, such as the National Visual Arts Prize in 1993, the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Art in 2007, the Arte y Mecenazgo Award in 2014 and the Fine Art's Velázquez Award in 2020.
