Bio

Her work is coded from scratch to create images that could not exist in any other medium. Interested in the complexity that emerges from small, simple behaviors, she explores diversity and the balance between order and chaos in which nature and daily life seem to be suspended. Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean culture and landscape, her practice translates these influences into abstract visuals: vivid digital images, static or dynamic, geometric or organic. She holds a PhD in Fine Arts, specializing in Generative Art, as well as two MSc degrees: one in Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and another in Audiovisual Technologies from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). In Barcelona, she teaches creative coding at several design schools. Her work has been exhibited at Feral File, Art Blocks Curated, and CVerso Galleria. She has also developed and presented generative art and digital installations at renowned national and international institutions, museums, and festivals, including MUTEK ES+AR, Sónar Festival, Eufònic Urbà, Decentraland, the Venice Art Biennale, Medialab Prado Madrid, and Abandon Normal Devices Liverpool, among others.

Installation: Caniques | Responsive Dreams 2026

An algorithm, written in code, draws the artwork. Each pixel is a marble, a person.
The pixels begin mixed together at random. They arrive disordered, all entering at once.
Throughout the night, at every moment, they observe who is beside them.
Depending on their neighbours, they decide whether to come together, move away, mix with them, or even change colour.
Each pixel, each marble, looks around itself three times and decides what to do.
Groups, shapes, clusters, crowds, mixtures and patterns emerge… and then dissolve again.
Not even the artist knows what will happen, where each person will go, or where the night will end.
Guided by the instructions of the algorithm, the pixels trace their unpredictable paths.
They know where they begin, but not where they will end up, or with whom.
What path, what destination, will each of them draw?
