Juana González

JUANA GONZÁLEZ (Puertollano, 1972). Graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2005. Juana González's artistic practice ranges between painting and drawing. Stylistically indebted to a secular tradition in which we recognize from medieval narratives and baroque compositional structures to the most recent and varied "isms" of the last century, it is revealed to us as a risky and complex "tour de force" in which concept and form find their balance between tradition and modernity. Both in her elaborate large-format canvases and in her precise and spontaneous drawings we find ourselves before a mysterious and disturbing open code story of monumental craftsmanship that becomes a theatrical and performative staging.
Her works have been shown in different national and international spaces such as the Sala Robayera (Cantabria), the Museum of the City of Móstoles, the Museum of the University of Alicante, the Miengo City Hall (Cantabria), Galerie 100 kubik in Colonia or the Musée des Beaux-Arts of La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. She has been recognized with the honorable mention of the ABC Painting and Photography Awards (2003), the Contemporary Art Meetings of the Juan Gil-Albert Alicante Institute of Culture (2012), the VIII New Artists Meeting of Santiago de Compostela (2018) or in the XV LA RURAL Plastic Arts Prize / Fundación Caja Rural Jaén (2022). And she has had several publications in different media (editorial, digital press, TV report).
Her works are represented in national and international public and private collections such as MMAC of the Madrid City Council, Cantabria Government Collection, Kells Art Collection, or Solo Collection, among others.
