Working primarily in oil with a focus on palette knife technique, Elisabet Alba Rio is a self-taught painter known for her richly textured and vividly colored compositions. Her practice took shape during the global pandemic, as a period of isolation fostered a shift from personal exploration to professional dedication. Alba Rio blends contemporary realism and dreamlike surrealism, centering the feminine form and using strong light contrasts and bold impasto to highlight both empowerment and vulnerability. Her paintings balance sensuality and the raw force of nature, presenting each work as an invitation into an emotionally charged, textured realm.
