Raquel Lobo (Llanes, 1992) graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2015. She currently lives and works in Madrid, where she develops an artistic practice that combines technical rigour with a deep sensitivity to form and colour.

In 2025 she received the Asturias Joven Visual Arts Prize, awarded by the Government of the Principality of Asturias in its 35th edition, for her series Debajo de todo. The jury highlighted the plastic strength, conceptual depth and subtlety of her work, qualities that position her as one of the most singular voices of her generation. The prize includes a solo exhibition at Sala Borrón (Oviedo) in 2026.

In recent years, Lobo has presented her work in various spaces and institutions. Among her most recent exhibitions are Debajo de todo (Casa Municipal de Cultura, Llanes, 2025), Gravedad Relativa (The House, Madrid, 2024) and her presentation at Sala Borrón in Oviedo that same year. She has also taken part in the 35th Visual Arts Exhibition of the Principality of Asturias (MAPPA), consolidating her presence on both the regional and national art scenes.

Her practice is defined by formal precision and a contained calm. Her images, built from balanced compositions and distilled forms, construct imaginaries that seem to point to civilisations from another time, somewhere between what has been and what is yet to come. Colour plays an essential role, subtly articulating and defining each piece. Her slow, meticulous process is an exercise in perseverance in search of an ideal, almost archetypal image that feels as if it has always existed.

In Debajo de todo, the artist presents six large scale tapestries that engage with mythologies of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, especially the figure of the mouros. Through a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques, such as the use of gold leaf and 3D printing, Lobo constructs a symbolic territory where the material and the imaginary intertwine.

Her project Gravedad Relativa, developed in collaboration with the studio Furii, explores the notion of balance and the relationship between body, space and scale. It proposes a sensory, meditative experience that invites viewers to reconsider their perception of weight and form.

Among her key works are Abertura, Concebirás una esfera, Gravedad fuera de escala, Lemuria, Origen and the Debajo de todo series. Her work is held in several private collections and will enter the institutional collection of the Principality of Asturias on the occasion of the 2025 Asturias Joven Visual Arts Prize.
