Teresa J Cuevas (Madrid, 1988) develops her work from a solid architectural background and a profound artistic sensitivity. Her experience in South Korea, alongside artist Jinnie Seo and at the studio One o One Architects, decisively shaped her career: there she worked on projects ranging from residential housing to monumental installations, opera stages, and luxury window displays. That period left an Asian imprint on her work, still visible today in the delicacy, rigor, and spatial awareness of her pieces.
In 2015, after years of filling notebooks with drawings and sketches, she began her professional career as an artist in Madrid. Her perseverance and experimentation took her from one studio to another, until in 2021 she created her own studio-space, conceived as both a place for creation and exhibition, where her work breathes in dialogue with architecture.
Her work unfolds around two main universes. The first, from inside out, where nature—light and shadow, winds and sands—becomes the protagonist of her canvases, with light as the central element. The second, from inside in, where she delves into the intimate and universal: femininity, motherhood, emotional and spiritual growth.
In the first universe, series such as Naturaleza y luz stand out, where matter constructs serene and ever-changing landscapes. In the second, collections like La espera, Avance, or Encuentros, which invite contemplation and self-discovery.
A single pursuit runs through all her work: to make the invisible visible, to find in light—both external and internal—a horizon of calm, truth, and transformation.
