Almudena Fernandez Vicens is a contemporary Spanish artist. Her work as a painter and printmaker is characterized by heavy textured surfaces, created by layering paint and using different materials that she employs to create abstract, monochromatic works. Fernandez Vicens’ creative process is based on gradually trimming away elements in search of the essence of a piece, leaning towards minimal expression, achieved by her particular monochromatic palette and open spaces.



Fernandez Vicens’ work has been juried into many different exhibitions and it’s held in private collections. She has been awarded several First Place and Best in Shows awards within the past few years. She recently had a Solo Show, Inner Dialogues at the Artworks on the Green Gallery in CT and she has also been invited to participate in group shows throughout CT. She’s a member of the Silvermine Guild of Artist, Carriage Arts Barn Center, Rowayton Art Center, Stamford Art Association, Greenwich Art Society, the Loft Artist Association, and the Greenwich Arts Council.



Born in Madrid, Spain in 1976 she moved to New York City in 2001 and to Connecticut in 2007 where she began her art studies. She lives in Connecticut and works at her studio in Stamford and at the Silvermine printmaking studio in New Canaan.

Series Contemporary Meninas

In Dalia Berlín’s work, the figure of the Menina—the Baroque icon and mirror of the gaze in Velázquez’s painting—becomes a territory of reinterpretation and transformation. Berlín does not reproduce the image; she deconstructs it, reimagining it within a time where identity is plural and color replaces lineage as a sign of belonging.

The Menina’s body, traversed by planes of color, textures, and graphic fragments, becomes a field of tension between the classical and the urban, between the memory of art and the pulse of contemporaneity. The artist proposes a dialogue between past and present, where painting rewrites itself—as if Velázquez had left his mirror open for new gazes to step into the center of the scene.

Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I’ve spent the past 23 years living in London, Madrid, New York, and currently Greenwich, CT. Each place has left a mark on me—culturally, emotionally, and artistically leaving a lasting influence on my work.

I am a contemporary artist whose work is deeply intuitive, emotional, and rooted in everyday experience. My creative process is organic and always evolving—I often begin with a loose plan, but allow instinct and emotion to guide me. As I paint, I discover shapes, feelings, and meanings that weren’t part of the original vision. It becomes a process of revealing, almost as if the painting tells me what it needs as it takes form. Painting, for me, is a form of meditation. It brings stillness and presence, even in the chaos of color and movement. I often live with my paintings for days, weeks, or even months, quietly observing them until I understand what they are truly saying. This reflection helps me uncover hidden connections, emotions, and sometimes even personal truths - something I hope the viewer also experience as an invitation to explore their own emotions and meaning within the work.

One of the most fulfilling parts of my work is how people connect with it. Viewers often tell me how much they enjoy discovering new details in my paintings—hidden figures, unexpected shapes, or symbolic moments that reveal themselves over time. My use of vibrant color, layering, and abstract forms creates a space for exploration and personal interpretation. I believe a painting continues to evolve long after it’s finished, depending on who is looking at it and how they’re feeling. That interaction between the viewer and the piece is essential—because just like the creative process itself, it’s alive, changing, and deeply human.

Series Origami, 2024

In her Origami series, Marianela Pérez translates the subtlety of folding into the realm of metal. Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of transforming a sheet of paper into form, the artist reverses the logic of material: fragility becomes solidity, and the delicate gesture turns into technical precision. Galvanized steel, coated with layers of automotive paint, transforms into a surface that evokes the smoothness of paper yet asserts itself as a sculptural body.

Color —vibrant, reflective, and carefully chosen— heightens the tension between the industrial and the poetic. Each piece stands as a synthesis of geometry and emotion, of calculation and the suspended movement of a fold. Within that intersection, Pérez invites us to contemplate the paradox of a contemporary origami: lightness turned into permanence, the memory of gesture solidified into matter.
