Salomé Cuesta graduated in Fine Arts from the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, part of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, in 1989. She subsequently obtained a PhD from the same university and currently teaches there.
Her core concern in her output as an artist is the nature of space and how it is constructed and occupied. She explores this mainly through three-dimensional works. Unlike traditional sculpture, which uses noble materials to produce works which are physically dense or focussed on matter, she works with media and materials that can be seen as non-physical in nature. She uses mirrors and projections, and has conducted significant investigations into the creative and conceptual capabilities of light. Based on 'level zero' sculpture, Salomé Cuesta explores the locations in which her works stand, and she does so not through the elements that define and delimit them but by working with the lightness of light, shade and darkness.
Her works have been shown at numerous venues, including the Exhibition Hall of the University of Valencia (1990), the Antoni Estrany-de la Mota Gallery (Barcelona, 1992), the Juana Mordó Gallery (Madrid, 1992, 1993), the Helga de Alvear Gallery (Madrid, 1996), the Salvador Díaz Gallery (Madrid, 2000), the Párraga Centre (Murcia, 2006) and the Helga de Alvear Foundation Visual Arts Centre (Cáceres, 2015).
