...MorePhD in History of Art, my PhD research entailed the creation of the catalogue raisonné of Spanish contemporary painter Eduardo Sanz (Santander, 1928-Madrid, 2013), which included the compilation of c.2000 works scattered in different private and public collections in Europe, the writing of his biography, the analysis of his work and its contextualization within the Spanish, American and European art scenes.
My research interests include visual arts and literature in the Hispanic world for the contemporary period (cultural exchanges within the Atlantic arch, post-war proposals, conceptual art, visual poetry, travel literature, landscape representation), dealing with ideas of memory and perception, travel and exile, alienation and estrangement.
My main research line currently focuses on cultural heritage recreation and reinterpretation in Hispanic seafaring communities, with a particular interest in the processes of reconstruction of the past through memory and perception by artists and creators belonging to Atlantic coastal environments. The relationships established between the most avant-garde artistic proposals and popular -even kitsch– elements of these maritime cultures, and the role that memories of the sea and sailing boats, the coastline and the lighthouses play in conforming the artistic imaginary of these artists, characterize the research activity I’m involved with at present.
