About Eva Grande

I’ve dedicated more than 25 years of my life to my passion: art in many of its forms and colors. I’ve explored and experimented with different disciplines. Although my education and study were philosophy and psychology, I’ve always kept a link to the art world by also studying the history of art, art drawing, painting, and photography mainly in Madrid, but also in Paris. Recently I’ve graduated from the ceramic school of Madrid and for the last four years, I’ve focused on ceramic sculptures. During these years I’ve exhibited my work mainly in Spain, but also in Denmark, The Netherlands, USA, etc.

For me relief, colors and materials have been my main curiosity and interest during the making of my artworks. For my work I’ve used and reused earth, glass, minerals, tree bark, straws, cork, ropes, threads, marbles, etc on different surfaces like metal, wood, canvas, etc. This has led me to dedicate a lot of time and reflection to search for colors and their shades, materials, and their reliefs they are essential elements in my work.

The exclusion of women in art is a topic that is very important to me and to which I have dedicated several exhibitions. I consider women as the central and fundamental axis of life.

 I have taken into account climate change, my love for nature, animals, cinema … and I have a particular sensitivity for minority groups. For a year I researched materials accessible to the touch to bring abstract art closer to blind and visually impaired people. In 1995 I held an exhibition at the Museo Tiflologico de Madrid – O.N.C.E (national organization for the blind in Spain). From that moment on there is always a work present in my exhibitions that can be touched, as a tribute to this group.
