Juana González (Puertollano, 1972) holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid (2005).
She develops her practice in the field of painting and drawing.
Her paintings are staged compositions with a baroque sensibility, articulated through a language that moves between surrealism and expressionism within narrative figuration. Each work becomes a battle and a search for balance between figuration and painting itself, going beyond mere representation and giving prominence to color, brushwork, drips, and thick impasto.
Her work has been shown in various institutional spaces such as Sala Robayera (Cantabria), Centro de Arte Alcobendas, the Cervantes Institute (Munich), Santa Catalina Church in Badajoz, the University of Alicante Museum, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.
She has received several awards, including Best Spanish Artist at ARCO 2025 awarded by Artepuntoes magazine of the Institute of Contemporary Art (IAC), the 34th López Villaseñor Prize for Visual Arts (2025), an Honorary Mention at the ABC Painting and Photography Awards (2003), and recognition at the Contemporary Art Encounters of the Juan Gil-Albert Alicante Institute of Culture (2012), among others.
She has participated in numerous national and international art fairs such as ARCO, UNTITLED, PINTA (Miami), Estampa, Urvanity, JustMad, Drawing Room, and Arte Santander.
Her work is part of public and private collections including the SOLO Collection, the Oliva Arauna Collection, the Government of Cantabria Collection, the KELLS Art Collection, the MMAC Contemporary Art Museum of the Madrid City Council, and the Studiolo Foundation, among others.
