Elvira Fournier (Spain, 1997) is a visual artist and cultural manager working primarily with contemporary abstract painting. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from University of Madrid and a Master’s degree in Cultural Management. Her practice has been shaped by an international background, with experiences living and working in countries such as Ireland, Uruguay, and Denmark, which have influenced her understanding of art as a space of exchange, movement, and connection.

Her work explores abstraction as a sensory and perceptual field, where gesture, color, and materiality operate as tools to access emotional and intuitive dimensions. Central to her practice is the concept of energy as an invisible force that connects inner experience, nature, and collective consciousness. Through painting, she translates intangible elements — such as emotions, memory, and spiritual states — into open visual languages that invite contemplation rather than fixed interpretation.

Each work functions as an open space in which the viewer plays an active role, projecting personal meanings and experiences. Rather than presenting closed narratives, Fournier’s practice proposes encounters that unfold through perception and time.

Alongside her studio practice, she works in cultural management, exhibition coordination, and art education. She has participated in international exhibitions and art fairs such as Art Madrid, and her work has been shown in cities including New York and London.

Fournier understands art as a living process — one that exists between creation, mediation, and shared experience — and as a powerful means to foster awareness, dialogue, and connection.

«My works need to be observed carefully to analyze all the parts that make up the painting and tell a story. However, the story that is generated is open. That is, each individual obtains their own meaning while observing it. I don’t like to give a closed explanation or tell what I see. I want the people who look at it to make it their own and see what each stroke, shape, and texture evokes in them.

My source of inspiration is nature, spirituality and theology. It is a sensitive and personal painting that channels my own internal world as well as the invisible and intangible energy. The energy that moves the world and the universe.

With my artistic work I hope to create a particular style of my own that serves as a source of knowledge, inspiration and development of human minds. That manages to excite and captivate viewers by offering them a unique vision that they have not seen so far. For me, art serves as a tool to develop individual and collective consciousness. My art offers society a way to connect with its essence and purest part. Art and culture are necessary for society to develop and connect internationally.»
