María Luisa Rojo

Madrid 1960

By: José María Viñuela

María Luisa Rojo graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, and subsequently obtained a grant to continue her studies at the Pratt Institute in New York, where she lived from 1985 to 1987. She later received a further grant to spend an academic year in Rome. She has exhibited at the Sa Pleta Freda Gallery in Son Servera (Palma) and at the Gamarra y Garrigues and May Moré galleries in Madrid. For many years she has focused on painting in a style which is figurative but not highly representative, which shows a cosmic abstract intentionality with geometrical signs. She has also ventured into the fields of books and art objects. She currently teaches and is Head of Programmes at the Liceo Europeo school.
