For artist Alejandra Glez (Havana, Cuba, 1996), photography has been the vehicle that has allowed her to express herself freely. Throughout her career as an artist, her work has revolved around a fundamental axis: the female nude.

In 2016, she studied photography in collaboration with National Geographic. Between 2017 and 2018, she was in Madrid as an intern at the studio of photographer José María Mellado. Recently, she was awarded the IV Enaire Foundation Young Photography Award, connected to the annual PhotoEspaña exhibition.

Carlos Martínez (Alicante, Spain, 1982) has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, ​​specialising in sculpture. He has received numerous awards, such as 1st Prize for Design and New Forms in Ceramics, La Rambla, Córdoba; 1st Prize at the NACE Ceramics Competition, Navarrete, La Rioja.

Federico Granell (Alicante, Spain, 1974) has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca, specialising in Design and Audiovisuals, and has furthered his training in Milan and Rome. He began his professional career more than a decade ago and although painting has been his most common means of expression, he has also worked in other fields such as sculpture, photography, drawing, engraving and video installation. Granell has exhibited in numerous Spanish galleries in Europe and South America, as well as in important fairs and competitions.

Marc Quintana (Tarragona, Spain, 1975) expresses in his works a subjective representation of today's society and how the evolution of the human being is leading to the loss of values, identity and the dehumanization of the individual. Marc Quintana has participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions. His work is also part of important public and private collections.

The pictorial work of Oliver Roura (Barcelona, ​​Spain, 1978) takes shape through constant technical experimentation. Metaphorically speaking, we could say that in his work the pictorial exercise develops and takes place within the painting itself; it is as if it were within the painting that the actions, gestures and details came to life. His way of working with painting “from within” generates forms that seem to bring out the internal structure of the painting itself. His work can be found in collections such as Sho House Hotel, Hotel de Crillon Paris, Cámara de la Propiedad Urbana in Barcelona, ​​among others.

In her works, the painter Sabine Finkenauer (Germany, 1961) explores the abstract potential of essential forms and gestures that have been part of her imagination from the beginning. The motivations that lead her to create this type of work come from the world of childhood, creating geometric structures of mental or architectural space.

The artist Paula Vincenti (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1969) is a multifaceted creator with a consolidated career. Her work stands out for its marked personal style, where through photography, painting and collage she portrays the feminine universe with a fresh aesthetic full of irony and self-criticism. She has presented her work at the CAC Málaga, Museo Joaquín Peinado, and is represented in important private and institutional collections such as the Fundación Unicaja and the Fundación Benetton.

The artist Cesc Abad (Barcelona, ​​Spain, 1973) is an artist trained in ceramics, photography and painting. His work allows us to observe the landscape in a different way, both figuratively and conceptually. His work belongs to the Collection Fundación MER, Madrid; Stefan Simchowintz, Los Angeles; Fundació Vila Casas, Barcelona; Banca Mora, Andorra; Centro de Arte Mutuo, Barcelona; Encinar Collection, Madrid; Albert Madaula Collection, Barcelona; Antoni Morell Collection, Andorra; Carles Barrera Collection, Viella; Josep Soler Collection, Barcelona; Cernuda Collection, Barcelona, ​​among others.

Rafael Jiménez Reyes (Córdoba, Spain, 1989) graduated in Fine Arts, specialising in Engraving and Design, from the University of Seville in 2012. His artistic discourse revolves around memory, history, traces and subjective vision. He won 1st Prize in the 6th SADUS Sculpture Competition (Seville, 2011) and 1st Prize in Painting at the “Mírate” competition (Seville) in 2011. He has been awarded a scholarship by the 10th Alnorte Contemporary Art Week in Asturias (2011), the Antonio Gala Foundation for Young Creators (2012-2013) and the 14th D-MENCIA Contemporary Art Exhibition (Córdoba, 2013).

The paintings of Francisco Mayor Maestre (Madrid, Spain, 1990) attempt to explore the boundaries between urbanism and nature, between buildings and the people who live inside them, space and matter in an environment but also in his painting; which leads him to deep reflections on the meaning of life, society, art and the passage of time. The artist has been awarded the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation Scholarship of Mallorca, the Art Engraver Scholarship of the Coin Department of the National Mint and Stamp Factory and the first prize of the Rivas-Vaciamadrid National Painting Competition (2019), among others.

The work of Sergio Femar (Pontevedra, Spain, 1990) is characterized by a desire to connect with current times, with the outside world: his painting attempts to represent the present moment, everyday images that come across, objects that he finds and transforms. This is where Sergio's work adapts to the environment and complements it as a way of connecting with the constantly changing world in which we live.
