María Ortega Estepa

Córdoba, 1983

Carries out her work through different mediums: painting, drawing, sculpture and intervention, using art as the means to explore the world as well as her own self, based on a close relationship with nature.

Over the course of the past year she has had individual expositions in the Fernando Serrano Gallery (Hábitat, 2012), the Carmen del Campo Gallery (Sus raíces transformaron la tierra, 2012), the Neilson Gallery (Nuevas Constelaciones, 2013) and currently in the Mecánica Gallery with Misterio, imprecisiones y fantasías (November-December 2013). In December she will be opening in the INICIARTE Córdoba exposition room, as Mapping-me has been one of the projects selected for its 2013-14 expositions program.

She has been awarded several prizes and grants during the course of her career, such as the Plastic Arts grant from the Rafael Botí Foundation, the production help from INICIARTE, the ARTIFARITI grant -Encounters in the liberated territories of Western Sahara-, the Bilbao Arte Foundation grant (Viana Foundation agreement) and currently her project Viajando el Paraíso has been selected by the chair DKV Arte y Salud from the Polytechnic University of Valencia to be presented in the Marina Salud Hospital in Dénia. Last year she was awarded the UNIA prize for Painting and the DESENCAJA prize in the category of Plastic Arts. In 2013 she received a Special Mention in the MALAGACREA contest, in a collective exposition in the Málaga CAC.

‘Mapping-me deals with paths and landscapes such as cosmology of recognisable new mechanisms as an element of introspection. The paths are displayed as new metaphors, new lands to conquer.
