Adela Angulo Portugal (Madrid, 1999) is a visual artist who explores the boundaries of painting and the language that emerges around it. She seeks new perspectives on the familiar in order to question the conception of painting, its structures, and its historical weight from a critical and poetic standpoint.

Her work addresses themes of human existence that evoke the emotional, the intimate, and the sensitive. She engages with essential questions of the creative process and the configuration of the pictorial image, with her pieces acquiring a corporeal character — relating to space and thus presenting themselves as sensitive bodies.

Is painting the embrace that tightens, or the silence of a scream?
