Noelia Muriana - El Machote

Artist: Noelia Muriana
I work as a multidisciplinary artist, combining Video Art with the visual arts as artistic expressions. My works focus on feminist, Queer and LGTBIQ+ discourses. In an EROTIC, ironic and transgressive way, these works aim to give visibility to these collectives.
With more than twenty-five years of professional career, I have created and participated in solo and group exhibitions and festivals, both in Spain and abroad. Consolidated as an essential name in Spanish contemporary art, I have exhibited at Arco 2005 and at the Málaga Film Festival 2006. Since then, my work has inhabited spaces of the highest national prestige, including a group exhibition at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, and I have been part of key events such as IVAM ELECTRA04 (Valencia), Art Tech Media ’06, the Óptica Festival ’08, the IBAFF International Film Festival 2013, or Feminart II’2018. In the commercial circuit, I have developed solid partnerships with leading galleries such as Aural in Alicante, along with Babel and Léucade in the Region of Murcia, where I currently reside.
