Teresa Pera

Born in 1983 in Vilassar de Mar at the Maresme coast near Barcelona, Teresa Pera i Hospital works best when she is close to the sea. Her preferred way of working is alone and in complete silence, without any kind of distraction. She carefully plans each day in the studio, so that she finds the internal peace before she starts painting. Normally she works without any pause on various pieces simultaneously.

As many others, Teresa started painting when she was very young, she had her first classes with Albert Alís in Mataró, a well-known artist in the region. She graduated from the University of Barcelona in Fine Arts in 2005 and obtained a masters from the same university in 2006. Currently she also teaches at the same University.
In the beginning of her career she was influenced by the impressionists, and later on we see influences from oriental (Japanese) art. Now, completely abstract, we see the influence of American abstract artists like Cy Twombly.

Teresa doesn´t see any other future than painting. Her future will be to continue searching for the sensitive, mysterious beauty she wants to transmit to us by painting and drawing.

Teresa was selected in 2012 for the Bienal d’Art Contemporàni Català. In 2013 she had an exposition in the Museum of Vilassar de Mar, and she recently had a solo show “Estrats” at the Acadèmia de Belles Arts de Sabadell (2014).

In 2017 Pera completed her Master’s study at the University of Barcelona. Currently her work is at the JCE Biennale from 2017 – 2019, representing the Spain.
