BIO
CREATIVE COSMONAUT AND CONTEMPORARY CAVEWOMAN:
Madrid, 1991, lives in Madrid after focusing on her work in the Netherlands and Germany, graduated in Architecture and Fine Arts with a special interest in archeology, astronomy, and traditional observatories. She looks for optimal moments and places for the observation and production of her abstract pieces. She thus finds her inspiration in archaic rites, based on the connection of primary elements of nature and the universe through creative performance sessions.
The artist creates her work in ancestral sanctuaries or during astronomical events such as equinoxes, solstices or lunar phases. With the intention of scrutinizing how certain places or the movement of celestial bodies influence our essence as human beings and her artistic productivity as a creator. She values the true meaning of the traditions that we follow today and their primary connection with nature.
In 2021 she visited Lanzarote thanks to the Hotel Meliá Salinas Artistic Residency Program, making a landscape-abstract project based on the astronomical sanctuaries of the island. In December 2021 she brought one of her solstice performances to White Lab Madrid "Vigilia Solar".
After being part of the artists' collective AtelierImHof, Düsseldorf, Germany, at the end of 2022 she attended an artistic residency at LEA (Lab of Experimental Art), Madrid, and participated, together with the rest of the residents, in a collaborative site-specific installation at the Centro de Arte Moderno de Tetuán, Morocco. In January 2023 she participated in the group show "Procesos" at Arniches26.
The artist has been collaborating since 2021 with the gallery WhiteLab, Madrid and has held a grant at LEA, Madrid since April 2023. In recent months she has collaborated with the Hotel "Entre Azules" in Maldives and exhibited the results of "Colour Observatorium" in Berlin.
Currently, after her artist residency in Cal Gras Avinyo, she is researching the connection of the ancient goddess and the concept of femininity nowadays, proposing a pictoric route "el Camino de las Diosas'' as a network of sanctuaries of femininity along the Mediterranean coast. Under an artist residency production grand by MUA (Museo de la Universidad de Alicante).
