Málaga, 1990

María has a degree in Fine Art from the University of Málaga, where she was awarded the Outstanding Undergraduate Prize (2013) and, having completed her Master’s degree in Production and Research in Art at the University of Granada (2014), she is currently combining her artistic work with her PhD thesis.

Her work is centred on painting, on a relationship with the environment from a contemporary perspective which leads her to seek new ways of reformulating pictures in their evolution as images. In February 2013 she held her first individual exhibition in the Centro Cultural Provincial in Malaga, entitled "Después, el silencio" (After, silence); almost two years later she held "Anagnórisis-La Trama "(Anagnorisis-The Plot), her second individual exhibition, in the exhibition hall of Málaga’s faculty of Fine Art. She has participated in collective exhibitions and was awarded First Prize in the MálagaCrea de Artes Visuales (2014) and the VI Premio de Pintura de la Universidad de Málaga (2012) and was finalist in the Premio Internacional de Artes Plásticas “Obra Abierta 2014” (Plasencia, 2014) and the Premio Internacional de Pintura Focus-Abengoa (Seville, 2014).
