Águeda de la Pisa
CASTILLA Y LEÓN
Title : “Dress strips-fringes”
Technic: Printed cotton
Inspiration
“In Gaudí as a pretext I have used these strips of cotton fabric, printed with pink and yellow flowers, and sewed them on top of the vertical laces of the prototype, adding a touch of spring. When the model walks it acquires movement. I have adapted the technique I use in my paintings to Manuel Fernández’s dress”.

Her first exhibition took place in 1964 in Valladolid, sponsored by the poet Francisco Pino. In the 70s she leaned more and more towards abstraction, influenced by the New York School. In 1987, she joined the group Ruedo Ibérico. In the 90s she adopted collage and acrylic painting and later she began to use photographs in her work. In 2015, she received the Castilla y León Prize for the Arts.
