Intuition and encounter are important tools in my work.
I rely on intuition and encounter in many aspects of my life and in particular, with my plastic and creative work, I am a kind of collector or gleaner, gathering and treasuring all sorts of found (in a fortuitous way) and chosen (in an intuitive way) materials with which I investigate in search of plastic expressions that evoke in me visual and emotional, poetic and metaphorical sensations.

Born in Salamanca in 1964, Ana's artistic journey has taken her across the diverse landscapes of Barcelona, Bilbao, and Toledo before finding her creative home in Madrid.
Her passion for the arts led her to pursue a degree in engraving from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid. Seeking further inspiration and knowledge, Ana immersed herself in training and research courses at esteemed institutions such as the La Recova Art Foundation in Tenerife, the Pilar Miró Foundation in Mallorca, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid.
Over the span of 35 years, Ana has cultivated her artistic vision through collaborations with prominent galleries in Madrid, Tarragona, Badajoz, Málaga, and now Marbella's Isolina Arbulu Gallery. Her evocative works have graced solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, captivating audiences across Spain, France, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Switzerland, China, and Japan.
Throughout her illustrious career, Ana's talent has garnered prestigious prizes and grants, including support from institutions like Casa Velázquez in Madrid, the Spanish Academy in Rome, and the FONCA Grant for residency in Mexico. Her presence has been felt in renowned art fairs such as Art-BASEL, ARCO, and Art Madrid, among others.
Ana's artistic legacy extends beyond gallery walls, with her works finding a cherished place in numerous public and private collections worldwide. From the Museum of Modern Art of Tarragona to the Engraving Collection of the National Library, her pieces resonate with collectors and institutions alike, including the Museum of Contemporary Art of Madrid, the Collection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Madrid, and the Art Collection of the Spanish Embassy in Tokyo, to name a few.
