Eugenia Toledo Aragon

Painter, visual artist, Spanish, Castilian, Eugenia Toledo Aragón has lived in France for many years. She teaches drawing and painting there in several artistic and cultural centers.

Its expression is essentially figurative. From the human body to the landscape, everything is a subject of interest for her. But it is also through everyday objects that she finds her inspiration. She likes to sublimate the simple beauty of a chair, a cup or the wounds of time left on a wall. Her works, generally in large format, are strong and fall within the search for justice, authenticity and truth. They always contain an important poetic charge.

She uses different techniques that she frequently associates within the same work. On canvas, kraft paper or fabric, she likes to combine oil paint and acrylic but also uses charcoal, pastel and does not hesitate to resort to collage.

Purist or “offbeat”, she has a great appetite for shapes, colors and words (she also writes, caricatures and sculpts!).

Brimming with creativity and a hard worker, she never gives in to ease and claims to achieve her goal through study and effort.

"When I paint, I disappear, I no longer exist. I identify myself totally with the painting, I am the canvas."
