Anna Elizabeth Salova (Madrid, 2002). A graduate in Fine Arts from UCM with the Premio Extraordinario de Grado (Special Distinction Degree Award), Anna Salova develops a multidisciplinary practice built around silence — not as a concept but as a bodily condition: the place from which she perceives, works, and translates the world into matter. Her work is held in public and private collections — including the Studiolo Collection — and her recognitions include two simultaneous awards at FIG Bilbao 2025 and the Bronze Medal from the Real Academia de Historia y Arte de San Quirce, among others.
