Statement

Adela Angulo Portugal (Madrid, 1999) is a visual artist who explores the boundaries of painting and the language that emerges around it. She seeks new perspectives on the familiar in order to question the conception of painting, its structures, and its historical weight from a critical and poetic standpoint.

Her work addresses themes of human existence that evoke the emotional, the intimate, and the sensitive. She engages with essential questions of the creative process and the configuration of the pictorial image, with her pieces acquiring a corporeal character — relating to space and thus presenting themselves as sensitive bodies.

GlogauAIR Project

This project explores painting as a horizontal, bodily act—an act of laying down, of resting, of opening the body to space and matter. It also questions traditional ways of exhibiting painting, shifting away from the upright, wall-mounted format to embrace horizontal modes of display that invite rest, suspension, and physical proximity.

The work investigates the horizon not as a fixed or continuous line, but as a series of perceptual breaks that suggest continuity: a space of interruptions, held together by the gaze that tries to make sense of what is fragmented.
