Urban dissolution II | Gemma Alpuente

Gemma Alpuente (Algemesí, 1993) is a visual artist whose practice is based on experimentation, process, and material research. Her work combines intuition and method to develop her own language that translates gesture and color into volume through a direct relationship with matter. She holds a degree in Fine Arts and in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage from the Faculty of San Carlos (UPV), and a master's degree in Artistic Education from the University of Valencia. She has developed her career in the national and international art circuit. Her work is part of public and private collections (foundations and individuals) in Spain, Europe, and Asia. She has collaborated with galleries such as Galería Shiras, Galeria Cuatro, SGA, Untitled Gallery, Saisho, and Canal Gallery, with whom she participated in the Art Madrid fair in 2025, being highlighted by Cultura Inquieta and this 2026 with LAVIO (Murcia-Shanghai), being selected for the curated tour by Marisol Salanova. In recent years, she has received several national awards, including the Alhambra Prize at Abierto Valencia, with her retrospective Squeeze which marked a key point in her public projection. After being affected by the Dana, she has appeared in media such as Vogue, RTVE, Cadena Ser, Contemporary LYNX; she has participated in conferences at the UPV and shown her reconstructed work in spaces such as La Fundación Chirivella Soriano or the CCCC. She is considered one of the 25 Spanish visual artists under 35 with the most projection by El Confidencial (Vanitatis). Her latest project has been to create a large-scale mural for the Valencia CF Urban Art Route, alongside artists such as Felipe Pantone, Mawe, or La Nena Wapa.
