October 2024, Casa de Vacas in Parque del Retiro - Elena Gual (Mallorca, 1994) has developed an artistic journey marked by the exploration of femininity as the central theme of her work. Her classical art studies at the Academy of Art in Florence, combined with a transformative personal experience—an allergic accident that temporarily kept her away from the brush—led her to discover the palette knife as a unique technique that allowed her to explore the tridimensionality of her creations. Arma Gallery presents “Raíces” at Casa de Vacas, an exhibition that celebrates the profound connection between identity, nature, and femininity. In this show, the female figures emerge from the material with visceral strength, evoking the ancestral and the intimate in each stroke. Elena Gual's paintings create a space where the personal and the collective intertwine, inviting the viewer to reflect on the unbreakable connection to our own origins. “Raíces” is more than a visual experience; it is a meditation on existence, a journey to our deepest roots, where the power of femininity manifests in a palpable and transformative way.
