Naiara Valdano
Madrid, 1985
Naiara Valdano explored her most artistic facet during the last 20 years with various techniques such as water-colour or drawing. She found in collage a way to deconstructs the reality that surrounds her and creates new worlds where she can explore her dreams, desires and concerns.
The female figure become the main character in order to give visibility to the women world and to criticise the problems that currently haunt them.

Born in 1985 in Madrid into a multicultural family, she has always been characterized by her curiosity and desire to learn… two elements that has helped her to achieve a multidisciplinary education: she graduated in Art History in 2008 from the Complutense University of Madrid, Master in Art Business in 2010 from Sotheby's Institute of Art in London and Master in Online Marketing in 2018 from ICEMD.
Her main goal? To give visibility to stories beyond the official view, offering a more diverse and varied vision of the world. And she has been able to accomplish her dream from different perspectives: she has worked as cultural manager, art curator and online communication specialist (having collaborated with institutions and initiatives as LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, the “Miradas de Mujeres” Festival, the “Mujeres Mirando Mujeres” initiative, ARCO Bloggers or the Office of Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in London).
