Through this exhibition, Mavi invites you to immerse yourself in a world of portraits and diverse themes, where the surreal and imaginative intertwine, exploring the subjects she is passionate about: nature, the sensuality of the feminine, dreams, and other philosophical issues, challenging and expanding the limits of perception.
The exhibition features a collection of works including mini-series with intimate and evocative portraits, as well as compositions that explore current themes, always imbued with a surreal touch that characterizes the artist’s work. Each piece is a window into dreamlike worlds, where reality is decomposed and reconfigured in unexpected ways, inviting the viewer to question the known and let themselves be carried away by imagination.
Mavi Iglesias, with her rich and diverse cultural heritage, brings a unique perspective that is reflected in the freshness and narrative of her paintings. Her work is a celebration of creative freedom and a continuous exploration of new forms of artistic expression, through which the artist shares her personal journey, from her roots to her contemporary evolution, offering an intimate look at her creative universe.
Artist Bio
María Victoria Iglesias Quercia, a.k.a. Mavi Iglesias, is a multidisciplinary artist of dual Argentine and Spanish nationality, although her roots are also Italian and German. She was born in Buenos Aires in 1985 and moved to Spain in 2012, where she lived in Mallorca and Barcelona before settling permanently in Ibiza in 2016.
She grew up in a family where art was an integral part of the home. Daughter of a mother who was a painter, pianist, and interior designer, and a father who was a carpenter, designer, and professional rugby player, as well as the sister of a talented jeweler, carpenter, and industrial designer, Mavi was encouraged from an early age to express herself freely through various media and artistic languages.
After completing the Polimodal in Arts, Design, and Communication, she studied Advertising at the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (U.A.D.E.) and Advertising Creativity at the Escuela Superior de Creativos Publicitarios (E.S.C.P.) in Buenos Aires. These studies allowed her to develop skills in scriptwriting, graphic design, conceptualization, production, photographic aesthetics, art direction, and typography, which enriched her career in industries such as television, fashion, and tourism. Although she initially stood out as a model and actress in Argentina, her vocation later led her to other creative areas.
Currently, Mavi Iglesias is dedicated to painting and music as a singer, while also working as a Creative Brand Manager. She divides her time between the office and the studio, collaborating with other artists from whom she draws inspiration and nourishment.
The turning point in her career came when she attended an oil portrait course at the Escola Massana of Fine Arts in Barcelona. This experience led her to rediscover her passion for painting and return to her origins. With new tools and another vision, she continues in a constant search to explore new forms of expression. Although her creative spirit resists being confined to a single discipline, her dream is to devote herself increasingly to painting, a goal she continues to pursue with determination.
