Beatriz Elorza Artist Biography
After working as an architect, Beatriz began to study art in 2006 in Madrid, receiving instruction for five years from Leticia Ortiz de Urbina.

She has had solo exhibitions in Madrid and Santander, Spain, and in New York, where her work got represented by Spanierman Gallery.

Her artwork has been exhibited at the Wells Museum UK, has been part of the Summer Exhibition 2016 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and can be found in the collection of the Tsvetaev Museum in Moscow.
Beatriz Elorza is inspired by her surroundings and translates the energy and visual information of New York into her work using colour as her personal language. The colour in Beatriz Elorza's work seems a spontaneous emission, as if she had transmitted her emotions directly onto canvas through the mere act of breathing. Beatriz Elorza's paintings feature a strong sense of depth, which she derives from her knowledge of architecture.
