Biography

Victoria Civera Redondo was born in 1955 in Puerto de Sagunto in Valencia, Spain.[4][5] Civera studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos de Valencia, between 1973 and 1977.[3] She is married to artist Juan Uslé, whom she has occasionally worked together with.[6][7][8] Together they have a daughter, Vicky Uslé (born 1981) who is also a painter.[9]

Civera's first solo exhibition was held at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Santander (now Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo de Santander y Cantabria) in 1980.[3] Since 1987, she lives with her family between New York City and Saro, Cantabria.[3][8]

Her artwork find personal meaning in the use and imagery of inanimate objects and repeating shapes.[10][11] Some of her work explores space and volume; and will experiment with form both on and off canvas.[12] In 2017, Civera was awarded the Tomás Francisco Prieto Prize.[13]
