Since the late 1970s, she has developed a highly distinctive artistic language in which everyday objects, old photographs, documents and found materials are removed from their original context and reinterpreted to create works of remarkable poetic and symbolic intensity. Her work explores themes such as memory, identity, the passage of time, and the ability of objects to preserve stories and evoke emotions.After studying at the School of Arts and Crafts and the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia,

Pancrace Bessa (París, 1772 – Écouen, 1846) Pancrace Bessa was one of the most distinguished painters and illustrators of natural history in France during the first half of the nineteenth century. Specialising in flowers, fruit and, occasionally, birds, he developed a remarkably precise style of painting in which descriptive rigour is combined with a delicate sense of colour and composition. He trained in the circle of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris—then one of Europe’s leading centres for the study of the natural sciences—where he came under the influence of Gérard van Spaendonck and Pierre-Joseph Redouté.
