Statement
She is a Spanish visual artist who, throughout a long professional career, has used different plastic languages and disciplines such as installation, video, photography or drawing in her work. Her most recognized works are the specific interventions carried out in public spaces. Within the diversity and versatility displayed by his artistic proposals, she has always maintained a personal commitment to certain symbolic conflicts, both contemporary and from the historical past. The empathetic dialogue that she establishes with the social tensions of our civilization has been a common denominator in the entirety of her work.
