Débora Sánchez Viqueira
Artist

Spain
Débora Sánchez Viqueira was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she studied Interior Architecture and Design. In 2002 she moved to Madrid, Spain, and has been since working as a designer and artist.
Sanchez’s relationship with drawing and painting began at a very early age, through art workshops by renowned Argentinean masters, which led her to develop a great passion for different materials and techniques.
The evolution in Interior Architecture developed in Argentina and then in Spain, through numerous projects. In 2002 she co-founded a company linked to design, taking on the role of Creative Director. Through painting and digital art she created collections with textile materials, which were exhibited in important fairs, such as Maison et Objet (Paris), ICFF (New York), BDNY (New York); Salone del Mobile in Milan.
Over the 25+ years in the artistic world, her work has evolved from an expressionist style that marked her beginnings, to the abstract expressionism that defines her current work. In each of her pieces the viewer can observe the influence of design studies, as textures and spaces emerge from the pictorial surface, experimenting with relief. Her artistic work is based on the observation of nature and the beauty it reflects. She captures on canvas, wood or paper, using collage techniques, digital art, acrylics, pencils and watercolors, expressionist abstractions and her way of seeing the environment, using color as a fundamental tool, either vivid or neutral, and materials that enhance the aesthetic sense of her paintings.
Sanchez’s works of art have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and art fairs both in Spain and internationally, standing out in events such as the Estampa Contemporary Art Fair (Spain), Art Montpellier (France), International Contemporary Art Fair (Monaco), Santa Catalina Place (St. Petersburg, Russia) and Miami Art Basel Week (United States), among others.

“Unexpected” explores the connection between the construction of human forms and the reinterpretation of cubism in a contemporary language. This series evokes the unexpected in the female figure, integrating mixed techniques – pictorial and textile art – to emphasize the fusion between the classical and the handmade, the material and the symbolic.
