Elsa Paricio

She is a visual artist from the field of drawing and illustration whose practice combines art, literature, science, and collecting. In her work, she explores the multiple meanings derived from confronting images and texts and highlights the relationships between drawing, time, and landscape. The intense analytical vocation that characterizes her work and renders it deeply reflective is the same that makes her artistic process a mechanism with which to rationalize the thoughts and impulses that arise spontaneously. After graduating in graphic design and engraving from the Real Casa de la Moneda Foundation (2006), she was artistic assistant to Rodolfo Llópiz (Cuba, 1966), Andrea Sunder-Plassmann (Germany, 1959), and William Cordova (Lima, 1971). Since 2014, she has exhibited in group shows at institutions such as Tabacalera (Madrid, 2014), Museo Carmen Thyssen (Málaga, 2014), Casa Velázquez (Madrid, 2015), INJUVE / Sala Amadís (Madrid, 2017), among others. In addition, in 2010, she received the Fundación Arte y Derecho and VEGAP Prize for her artistic production; later, in 2018, she received an honorable mention at the Pilar Juncosa Biennial Publishing Prize and Sotheby's.
