PAMEN PEREIRA
FERROL, 1963
Pamen Pereira is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses a variety of media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Her adaptability to different formats reflects a profoundly experimental approach, where each medium is a useful tool for concretizing the creative act. Pereira is constantly seeking new languages to express her ideas, and her creative process is intimately linked to her life experiences, with nature playing a central role. She draws a great deal of the imagery and metaphors that nourish her work from nature, connecting human beings to their environment on a deeper, more symbolic level.
While Pereira continues to cultivate the solitude of the studio as a space for reflection and creation, in recent years she has given greater prominence to site-specific installations and interventions in both public and private spaces. These interventions underscore her interest in exploring the social nature of art and the role of the artist in contemporary society. In this sense, her work seeks to create a poetic connection between space, image, and viewer, inviting reflection on existential questions, the meaning of life, and the human being’s relationship with the natural world.
Her work has also been exhibited in numerous museums in different countries, including the Esteban Vicente Museum of Contemporary Art (Segovia), the Villa Cultural Center and the Senate Palace (Madrid), the Pazo de Congressos e Exposicións (Pontevedra 1998), the headquarters of Obra Social Centro Abanca and the Museo Centro Gaiás da Cidade da Cultura (Santiago de Compostela), the Museum of Contemporary Art (MARCO, Vigo), the Cultural Initiatives Center of the University (CICUS, Seville), Sala Kubo-Kutxa Aretoa (San Sebastián), the Old Chapel of Beneficencia (Logroño), the Centre d’Art d’Alcoi, headquarters of the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM CADA, Alcoy [Alicante]), Palazzo Pinucci (Florence, Italy), Galleria Via Larga (Florence, Italy), Kulturzentrum Kammgarn (Schaffhausen, Switzerland), Genossenschaft Amtshaus (Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland), the Recent Museum of Contemporary Arts (Sapporo, Japan), the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Arts Center (Alexandria, Egypt), the National Museum of Fine Arts (Buenos Aires, Argentina), the National Museum of Visual Arts (Montevideo, Uruguay), the City Museum (Querétaro, Mexico), and the Museum of Fine Arts (Caracas, Venezuela).
