Rebeca Plana

The work of Rebeca Plana (Valencia, Spain, 1976) presents a raw, modern, and humanistic world, deliberately handmade. It has a highly abstract, sometimes calligraphic character that invites the creation of structured compositional elements with an improvised and wild air. Plana's style is reminiscent of great painters such as Hans Hartung, Pierre Soulages, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline, where stroke, gesture, and color are executed in unison, simultaneously emerging as the undisputed protagonists. It didn't matter whether they were monochromatic paintings or not, only the texture they gave them and the stroke they immortalized in each gesture. She graduated from the San Carlos Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia and trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon and at the Colegio de España in Paris. She has presented solo exhibitions at the Colegio de España 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 at venues such as the Casa de Vacas in Madrid, the Espacio Ibercaja Torrenueva (Zaragoza), the Antonio Pérez Foundation in Cuenca, the Sala Parpalló, La Nau, the Caja Castellón Foundation and the Bancaja Foundation. She has also participated in fairs such as JustMAD, ARCOmadrid, Arte Santander, ESTAMPA and Ghent Artfair.
