Overview
Fátima de Juan (Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 1984) is an artist based in Mallorca.
Her first contact with the world of painting was through graffiti as a teenager under the alter ego Xena. Years later she studied illustration at the School of Arts and Crafts in Palma and graphic design in Madrid.
The representation of women is a constant in all her work, a strong woman with big arms, exuberant features and claws, reflecting an attitude that exudes femininity, sweetness and brute strength.Nature, the exotic, the primitive, the naive, the erotic, the tropical, fantasy and magic coexist in her personal universe through bright colours and velvety textures that give it an almost real and naive dimension at the same time. Ancestral elements such as fruit, jars, stones, swords... coexist with more "aesthetic", street and futuristic elements that make up the artist's dreamlike imaginary, full of contrasts and sweetly aggressive self-portraits.
She has exhibited all over the world in solo exhibitions as “Pretty Thug” L21 Palma, Palma de Mallorca (2022) y “Don’t disturb me, I’m blooming” en L21 Barcelona (2023). Exposiciones colectivas incluyen “Brillant New Faces” Allouche Gallery, Los Angeles (2023); “Stronger Than Language”, Galerie Romero Paprocki, Paris (2022); «Food Obsession», Urvanity Projects and Gärna Art Gallery, Madrid (2022); “Portraits and monochromes”, ARTUAL, Lebanon (2022); “PED TALKS”, 42 Art Space, Hong Kong (2022); “Exodus”, K11 Musea and Gallery Ascend, Hong Kong (2022); “Eating Sugar? No, papa!”, L21, Palma de Mallorca (2021); “Oh baby!”, Breach, Miami (2021).
