IN ENGLISH

Before moving to Berlin in 2006, she worked in Madrid as architecture designer and drawer, she also worked in advertisement agencies as a creative and web developer.

Today she dedicates herself fully to art creation, cultural management and art curation. – International art curation projects www.contemporanean.com
– Spanish Artist in Berlin www.berlinarte.org

Mixed media artist, drawer, photographer and filmmaker, with an extensive background developing videos, animations, and web content for clients in art, architecture and fashion, Maru arrived at her practice with an aesthetic sense in the art of challenge the perception of tenderness, solitude, nostal- gia, seduction, and desire.

Her artworks often show the privacy of the loneliness in relationships between women and places.

1

The backgrounds in architecture and film stron- gly influence their approach to spatial concerns, surrounding and reflecting the self-image.

On the translation of photography into Painting, Maru ́s subject deals between reality and color- texture results.

Blending abstraction and realism, her work inte- rrogates concepts in historical and contempo- rary identity and tries to reflect her self-image.

Her influences include some sediments of Primiti- ve and Pre Colonialism art and mathematical geometric Structures.

Her works are selected in many contests and join Collections as “La Calcografía Nacional” Spain’s national archive of engravings and etchings

She also teaches contemporary art. Worked in 2005 in Educathyssen Thyssen Bornemisza Mu- seum Madrid developing new projects to bring children closer to Contemporary Art.
Grants and Scholarships in the Drawing Depart- ment Complutense University of Madrid 2005.
… . .

She has participated in exhibitions in Spain, Fran- ce, Denmark, Berlin, Tel Aviv… Her work has appeared in advertising and editorial.
Integrating some art collectives and groups as “Bonus-Extra“, she has participated in numerous group shows.

She participates regularly in the creation of new ideas for music video and music performances
