Elena Gual (Mallorca, 1994) has built a distinguished artistic career marked by passion and dedication from her earliest explorations in painting. Her academic training in Italy provided a solid foundation in traditional techniques, while her studies at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Arts in London allowed her to fully explore her creative potential and engage deeply with contemporary art.

An allergic reaction led her to abandon the use of oil paints with brushes, prompting her to master impasto and the palette knife. This shift opened the door to a new three-dimensional approach, enabling her to experiment with textures and variations of light.

The central focus of Elena Gual’s work is femininity. Her evolving practice and extensive travels have endowed her with a heightened sensitivity to the female figure and identity. Each portrait she creates invites an introspective and sensory experience, transforming her work into a window onto the intangible and spiritual. Through her art, she conveys emotions and reflections that resonate with the viewer, emphasizing the beauty and uniqueness of women while celebrating diversity and the richness of human experience.
