Cot is a contemporary abstract artist, living and working in Spain and Portugal.
From a young age she developed an interest in visual arts as a form of expression and self-reflection. She studied French Philology in Madrid and Paris and devoted himself fully to expanding his artistic knowledge in Madrid in El Estudio with painter Soto Mesa and later with Mauricio Lanzillota and Julio Adan. Later in Berlin at the University of Arts and deepened Josef Albers’ color theory in Parsons school New York.
As an abstract artist, she aim to create light, casual and colourful artworks that trigger the viewer a visual stimulation and an ethereal feeling of joy. Her art is an invitation to discover a beauty that blurs the boundaries between the real world around us and what lies deep within ourselves.
When starting the creative process, she likes to sketch out ideas and play with color and design. She begin the process of painting on canvas or wood. She paints horizontally (the canvas is placed on the ground) because she benefit from a proximity that allows her to maintain a close relationship with the work. The orientation of the painting is determined once the work is completed. Her art is animated by this perpetual quest to create vivid light through colour research. She likes to create an harmonious composition with vibrations in the aim to provide positive energy
With wood, she use resin after the paintings are finished. Working with resin requires a certain amount of respect, tenacity, and precision as there are constraints in achieving the desired effect. Multiple coats of resin are applied to each piece. In their final form, these works appear smooth and effortless due to their shine, depth, and texture.
She was chosen as the young better Art when she was 15 and has also been Finalist in XX BMW Art Prize.
