Águeda de la Pisa (1942) was born in Palencia, Spain. She is renowned for her unique contribution to geometric abstraction and is the only woman to have been part of the Iberian Ruedo group, created by José Caballero, alongside notable figures such as Salvador Victoria, José María Iglesias, and Luis Caruncho.
Águeda de la Pisa’s artistic approach emphasizes the power of experience and the uncertainty inherent in the creative process. Her paintings are a direct reflection of her own experiences, avoiding external references to offer new perspectives on the world. Through her work, she challenges traditional notions of space and form, creating compositions that are both rigorous and deeply emotional. The soft folds and gentle reflections within her work allow for a subtle dialogue between structure and fluidity, capturing a sense of expectation and insight into the unknown. This approach positions her as a distinctive voice in contemporary art, with her work resonating on both an intellectual and emotional level.
Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, biennials, and art fairs. Notable exhibitions include 60 anys de geometría at the Museo de la Universidad de Alicante (2015), Rosebud at Espacio Vuela Pluma, Madrid (2014), and Lo cotidiano en el arte contemporáneo at Casa Junco, Palencia (2013). Her works are housed in several prestigious collections, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo (Lanzarote), and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Villafamés). Additionally, her art is represented in international collections such as the Museo Internacional de Arte Gráfico (Cairo) and Fundación Jiménez-Arellano-Alonso (Valladolid).
