Emilia Castañeda, 1943 | The Secret Gardens

Emilia Castañeda Martinez is a Spanish painter.
She was born in Madrid, but moved to Barcelona with her family as a child. She began training in 1956 at the academy of the painter Víctor Esteban Ripaux and at Escola de la Llotja in 1959 and Escuela Massana in 1969.
By the 70s she had finished her studies and became a professional painter.
Her works focus on the nude, generally placed in an abstract and dreamlike background that include objects that offer clues to the story told by the central figures.
Her work has been compared with that of modernists such as Gustav Klimt, Anglada Camarasa and with the French symbolist school.
Some of her works have been rejected by art galleries due to their erotic themes. | © Wikipedia

Emilia Castañeda Martínez è una pittrice figurativa Spagnola, eclettica sotto il profilo tecnico, che raggiunge il massimo della sua espressività con i media dell’acquerello e del pastello di matrice degasiana, cioè il pastello tradizionale, quello per qualche aspetto simile al gessetto.
Nata Madrid, Emilia Castañeda Martínez si trasferisce a Barcellona con la famiglia, quand’è molto giovane.
La sua formazione inizia nel 1956 all’Accademia del pittore Victor Esteban Ripaux e ll scuole Llotja Massana nel 1959 e nel 1969.
Il tema si concentra su soggetti figurativi, con uno stile atmosferico che è stato paragonato a quello dei modernisti come Gustav Klimt, Anglada Camarasa e la scuola simbolista francese.
