Maruja Mallo
Lugo, 1902
Maruja Mallo (Vivero, Lugo, 1902 - Madrid, 1995) was a key Spanish avant-garde artist of the 20th century and one of the most prominent figures of the Generation of ’27, closely associated with Surrealism and the modernist movements that reshaped Spanish art. She studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, where she shared an intellectual circle with artists and writers such as Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca, and Rafael Alberti.
Her work is marked by a powerful imagination, strong symbolic content, and constant formal experimentation, blending Surrealism, magic realism, and a distinctly modern vision of the body, women, and society.
After the Spanish Civil War, she went into exile in Latin America, where she developed an active artistic and exhibition career. Following her return to Spain in the 1960s, her work gained increasing recognition as one of the most original and innovative contributions to Spanish modern art. Her legacy is represented in major national and international museum collections.
