The exhibition offers a journey through the most representative stages of Martín-Vivaldi's artistic career. Despite graduating in Political Science and Sociology, she found her true vocation in the visual arts from a young age. Her work is characterized by a personal pictorial language where composition, color intensity, and nature are key expressive elements, marked by sensitivity and the constant search for new forms of communication.
The selection of paintings presents human figures, landscapes, and natural elements interacting with a vibrant color palette and rich composition. The exhibition is considered one of the most significant to have been held at the exhibition hall of the Casa de la Cultura of Albolote.
“"The artistic transmission to the viewer is most often involuntary, although guided by simplicity, which is then altered or, on some occasions, magnified by the color splashes."
María Teresa Martín-Vivaldi's career is backed by over 40 solo exhibitions and 56 group shows. Her works are held in important collections such as those of Caja Granada, the Granada City Council, the Miami Museum of Hispanic Art, the Picasso Museum of Malaga, and the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art in San Francisco.
Throughout her career, she has received numerous accolades, including the El Tesorillo Fine Arts Prize (1993), the BMW Prize Gold Medal (1995), the second Emilio Ollero Prize (1999), and the Jury Prize at Galerie Artitude in Paris (2000).
At the opening, the Councilor for Culture of the Albolote City Council, Eugenia Rodríguez-Bailón, highlighted Martín-Vivaldi's work as «a mature and coherent creation, the result of an artistic career built with rigor, sensitivity, and a permanent search for new expressive horizons».
Poet Antonio Carvajal, a personal friend of the painter, emphasized the uniqueness of her work, noting that «María Teresa has the virtue of transforming a single expressive theme into countless works that bring a special originality».
The exhibition invites visitors to discover the sensitivity, expressive force, and mastery of color of one of contemporary Granada's leading painters, where nature, the human figure, and emotion merge into a unique artistic language.
