Rebeca Plana - Milky Way

Técnica: Mixed technique on artisan paper

Biografía del Artista: The work of Rebeca Plana (Valencia, Spain, 1976) presents a raw, modern and humanistic world, purposely handmade. It has a highly abstract, sometimes calligraphic character that invites the creation of structured composition elements with an improvised and wild air. Plana's style is reminiscent of great figures of painting such as Hans Hartung, Pierre Soulages, Willem De Kooning or Franz Kline, where the stroke, gesture and colour are executed in unison, while emerging as undisputed protagonists. It did not matter whether they were monochrome paintings or not, only the texture they gave them and the stroke they immortalized in each gesture. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia and trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon and at the College of Spain in Paris. She has presented solo exhibitions at the College of Spain in Paris, the Sala Gallera in Valencia, the Fernando Latorre Gallery in Madrid and the Punto Gallery in Valencia and has participated in group exhibitions in spaces such as the Casa de Vacas in Madrid, the Ibercaja Torrenueva Space (Zaragoza), the Antonio Pérez Foundation in Cuenca, 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 a pure emotional reflection. In the act of painting, the author manages to transpose her emotions onto the canvas with the movement of energetic brushstrokes, which are distinguished by their colour and difference in density. Her abstract style therefore encapsulates the artist's deep emotions, feelings from her everyday life or her own state of mind through explosive abstraction. In “Vía láctea” this strong dynamism emerges with the collaboration of the warm colours of the Earth and the strength of pinks and mauves.
