Description 

A pecio refers to the remains of a shipwreck resting on the ocean floor. Fragments of its hull, cargo, and objects from its journey lie submerged, full of history and mystery. Despite its destruction, a pecio is beautiful in its imperfection. Its pieces, eroded by time and the environment, reveal both what once was and what remains. As these remnants become part of the marine landscape, they take on new meanings, transforming into a different reality. A pecio is a treasure, not just for what it once carried, but for what it represents in its current state: beauty born from ruin, holding secrets and new life.


Nuria Mora (b. 1974)

She is an undisputed protagonist of the international urban art scene, one of the very few women in the world who have practiced unauthorized art in public spaces and certainly the most precocious in Spain.
She studied Interior Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and
Fine Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid.
She began her artistic career in the late nineties focusing exclusively on illegal street interventions, bridging space, contest and form; her esthetics springs from geometric abstraction and natural metamorphoses that transcend simple stealth intervention to communicate at a more universal level.
She has exhibited in numerous commercial galleries too and art fairs, starting from the debut in Arco 05 to Seoul in 2024. Her work was also exhibited in international museums such the Tate Modern in London, the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, El Matadero in Madrid, Le Pilori in Niort, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Mallorca, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Johannesburg and last a collateral to Venice’s Biennale in 2022.

VALENCIA (SPAIN) NEEDS YOU · CHARITY ART AUCTION: SUPPORTING DANA VICTIMS IN VALENCIA ·

VALENCIA WILL RISE

Though my studio and artwork have been impacted by the DANA storm, I don’t consider myself a victim. This initiative is about lifting up the people of Valencia.
