Marta Lapeña
Spanish, b. 1993
Marta Lapeña (Ólvega, Soria 1993) lives and works in Madrid.
After she finished her degree in Interior Design by the Politecnica University (Madrid), she decided to devote herself to painting and the research and knowledge of different techniques, focusing at a later time on the conception and development of artistic projects.
She has attended several courses and taken part in relevant experiences which have led her to participate in different galleries, art fairs, cultural centres and urban art festivals, as part of her career path.
Her work lies between painting and muralism, sometimes materialised into specific projects and other times more experimental proposals. Her art is naturally influenced by daily life experiences, people she has met, behaviours that she has witnessed and social issues which concern her.
Ultimately, through her art she searches for equality at all levels: social, cultural and natural.
She addresses topics such as depopulation in rural areas, inequality and violence; any sort of violence but especially gender-based violence.
The social component is the absolute central theme of her work.
