Through textile art, I weave layers of fabric, thread, and translucency to evoke the fragility and persistence of remembrance. Stitching and mending become acts of repair and connection, gestures that seek to preserve what is fading.
Blanca Nieto (Salamanca, 1991) is a visual artist whose work is distinguished by deep sensitivity and a uniquely poetic language. Throughout her career, she has developed a personal aesthetic that combines technical precision with conceptual introspection, resulting in works of great subtlety and emotional depth.
Her practice establishes a dialogue between color, texture, and material, exploring the interplay between painting and textile as expressive mediums. Through serene and balanced compositions, Nieto reflects on themes such as memory, time, and perception, inviting viewers into a contemplative and intimate experience.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Design and Illustration from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (2014–2015), completed an Erasmus scholarship in Fine Arts at the Akademia Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku (2013–2014), and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca (2009–2013).
Nieto has received several awards, including the Manero Collection Acquisition Prize at Just Mad 2024, Third Prize at both the XXVI and XXV Fundación Gaceta Young Painters Awards (2023 and 2022), and the Painting Young Creators Prize from the Concejalía de Juventud de Salamanca (2022).
Her recent exhibitions include Beyond Art (Barcelona Design Week, Juno House, 2025), Ultramar (Arts Festival Castilla y León — FÀCYL, Espacio Nuca, Salamanca, 2025), and Saudade (Materna y Herencia Gallery, Madrid, 2025). She has also participated in collective exhibitions such as Siete Miradas (Adora Calvo Gallery, Madrid, 2024), Verano (Materna y Herencia Gallery, Madrid, 2024), and La pintura como médium (Casa de las Conchas, Salamanca, 2023).
Her work has been showcased at major international art fairs, including Estampa (IFEMA, Madrid), Just Mad (Palacio de Neptuno, Madrid), Arte Santander (Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones del Sardinero), SP Arte (São Paulo), and Art Rio (Marina da Glória, Rio de Janeiro).
