Alba Suau approaches painting as a living event rather than a fixed image. Her work emerges from aimless walks that open a meditative space, allowing her to attune to subtle details in the landscape: textures, colors, and quiet rhythms.
These impressions, once filtered through memory, return to the studio as layered compositions where observation and recollection coexist. Using oil, acrylic, dry pastel, and casein on canvas, Suau creates works that explore the porous boundary between the remembered and the real. Her references include Ximena Maldonado, Agnes Martin, Andreas Eriksson, and Joaquín Sorolla. Her recent projects, such as Las dos rocas and Entre casa María y la mía, explore childhood geographies and symbolic terrains, drawing on personal and collective relationships with place.
Alba Suau studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona and INSEAMM Marseille, and earned an MFA in Painting from La Cambre, Brussels. Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Alzueta Gallery (Madrid), The Merode (Brussels), Kaplan Projects (Palma de Mallorca), and Museu de Mallorca, among others. She has participated in group shows at Moonens Foundation, Dorotheum, Casal Solleric, and Studio Weil, and has been awarded the Prix des Amis de La Cambre (2023), the Mallorca International Art Award (2022), and the Barbara H. Weil Award (2021).
