Technique: Mixed media on colored handmade paper

Artist Biography: The work of Rebeca Plana (Valencia, Spain, 1976) poses a raw, modern and humanistic world, handmade on purpose. It has a highly abstract, sometimes calligraphic character that invites to create elements of structured composition with an improvised and wild air.a style, Plana's, reminiscent of great figures of painting such as Hans Hartung, Pierre Soulages, Willem De Kooning or Franz Kline where the stroke, gesture and color are executed in unison, while rising as undisputed protagonists. It did not matter if they were monochromatic paintings or not, only the texture they gave and the stroke they immortalized in each gesture. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos de Valencia and trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and the College of Spain in Paris.She presented solo exhibitions at the Colegio de España in Paris, at the Sala Gallera in Valencia, the Fernando Latorre Gallery in Madrid or the Punto Gallery in Valencia and has participated in group exhibitions in spaces such as the Casa de Vacas in Madrid, the Espacio Ibercaja Torrenueva (Zaragoza), the Antonio Pérez de Cuenca Foundation, the Sala Parpalló, La Nau, the Caja Castellón Foundation or the Bancaja Foundation. Also in fairs such as JustMAD, ARCOmadrid, Arte Santander, ESTAMPA or Gante Artfair.

 

The work of Rebeca Plana (Albalat de la Ribera, Valencia, 1976) is pure emotional reflection. In the act of painting, the author manages to transpose her emotions on the canvas with the movement of energetic brushstrokes, which are distinguished by their color and difference of densities. Her abstract style, therefore, encloses the deep emotions of the artist, feelings of her daily life or her own state of mind through an explosive abstraction. In "Milky Way" this strong dynamism arises with the collaboration of the warm colors of the Earth and the strength of pinks and mauves.
