CRISTINA ALMODÓVAR

The DUTKO gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in France of Cristina Almodóvar, a Spanish artist born in Madrid in 1970. A sculptor renowned for her delicate and organic universe, Cristina Almodóvar has been developing a distinctive body of work for over twenty years, where nature and thought engage in a subtle balance between matter and emptiness, rationality and poetry.

A graduate in sculpture from the Complutense University of Madrid and a former resident of the Casa de Velázquez, the artist explores forms inspired by living organisms—roots, branches, seeds, cells—using rigid materials such as iron or steel, which she manages to make vibrate with surprising lightness.

In this first Parisian presentation, Cristina Almodóvar showcases a selection of recent works, reflecting the major themes that run through her practice: growth, transformation, fragility, and the invisible connection between beings and their environment. Each sculpture is both structure and breath, carried by a meditative sensitivity that invites contemplation.

This exhibition is an invitation to discover an important voice in contemporary European sculpture, whose work has already been recognized by numerous Spanish institutions. In Paris, Cristina Almodóvar reveals a new facet of her art: a quest for a “Beyond the Material,” imbued with elegance and inner resonance.
