3. Damaris Pan
Brezel hinter der Welt, 2022
Pintura
Damaris Pan (Mallabia, 1983) is an artist, teacher and researcher. She studied Fine Arts at the UPV/EHU and at the Kunsthochschule Weissensee in Berlin. He is an artist of his time, but at the same time eternal: he uses mainly drawing and painting, he sets out without knowing what he is going to find, it seems that the creative process shows him its entrails. He does not have a known methodology, he does not need it.
4. Andreas Fogarasi
Roof Study #39, 2019-2022
Andreas Fogarasi (Vienna, 1977) examines the aesthetization and commodification of urban space and the use of architecture, art and design as instruments of legitimization in the service of power by resorting to different media and formats, from video, photography or text to installation or sculpture.
5. Rebeca Plana
SIN TÍTULO, 2022
Mixta
Rebeca Plana (Albalat de la Ribera, Valencia, 1978), graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos (Polytechnic University of Valencia) and develops her activity in the pictorial field.His language corresponds to that of a gestural abstraction and often goes beyond the two-dimensional format hung on a wall to offer complex, constructed works that sometimes form site-specific installations.
Jorge Ribalta
Boris Karloff / Frankenstein, 1931. De la serie Antlitz der Zeit (2002-2004), 2002
Born in 1963 in Barcelona, Spain, lives and works in Barcelona, SpainJorge Ribalta's photographic work is inscribed in the tradition of documentary photography but, at the same time, he analyzes and transforms that same tradition, embracing the contradictions, fragilities and unresolved tensions of what he calls the documentary "idea". In addition to photography, Ribalta also practices writing, curating, archival and historical research and editing.

9. José Miguel Pereñíguez
Tíaso (young satyr), 2012

Jacopo Miliani

Jacopo Miliani (Florence, 1979) Jacopo Miliani's work is based on an interdisciplinary research that involves different practices such as installation, performance, collage or photography. His methodology produces works whose understanding focuses on different levels of interpretation.
11. Regina Gimenez
Iremos al sol, 2020
Grabado
Regina Giménez belongs to a new generation of artists who use the large field of painting as a narrative surface. Her work is closely linked to her personal experiences: travels, memory, landscapes, nearby architectures... Each pictorial fragment comes to life and ends up building a vast mural of experiences, which fix the territory of globality in large maps, inhabit spaces where silence echoes and mark the time of an uncertain time.
12. Victoria Encinas
Popova. Obra única, 2021
Escultura
In his artistic work, formal economy, indebted to the constructivist reductionism of modern abstraction, is combined with the values of a sensual and poetic world that emerges through the intensification of perceptual values. The minimalist logic is dissolved by the light humor of this look that shares the white dream of the geometric tradition, and that, paradoxically, cannot avoid transgressing it, under the impulse of the most exciting imperfection of life, giving off a disturbing psychic energy and poetic precision.
13. Clara Sánchez Sala
14. Diana Lelonek
S/T (de la serie Barbórka), 2020-2023
Collage
The work of Diana Lelonek (Poland, 1988) explores the relationships between humans and other species. Her projects are critical responses to the processes of overproduction, unlimited growth and our approach to the environment. She uses photography, living matter and found objects, creating work that is interdisciplinary and often appears at the interface of art and science.
