Collection: Blanca Prendes
She was born in Gijón in 1973. A graduate in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca, she studied in Kassel and at the HFG Offenbach, Frankfurt, while developing part of her creative work, which she continued in Badajoz and later in Asturias, where she has settled. In 2017, she completed a Master's degree in Integrated Advertising at the International University of La Rioja.
His early work was based on an informalist style of painting that moved between figuration and abstraction. In 2003, the warehouse where his work was stored caught fire, destroying all the pieces he had produced in the previous two years. From that moment on, his work underwent a significant change. He no longer focused on a single technique and abandoned his visceral and spontaneous way of working.
Over time, she has returned to purely pictorial languages, although she continues to explore new media and techniques. For several years she taught at the Oviedo School of Art . She is currently Design professor at the Esapa , Higher School of Art of the Principality of Asturias.
Until February 2018 she belonged to the Offmothers Collective along with Susana Carro, Roxana Popelka, Eugenia Tejón, Gema Ramos, Natalia Pastor and Elena de la Puente, where they worked on art and motherhood issues.
She currently belongs to the Association of Women Artists, Blanco, Negro y Magenta, and the Association of Women in the Visual Arts . She is also part of Espacio Local , located in Gijón, and the Laboca Cultural Association that manages it.
