Azalea Quiñones

[7][8] Her works have been exhibited in major galleries and exhibitions including the Salón Nacional de Jóvenes Artistas (National Salon of Young Artists), the Galería Tiempo Argentino, the first Havana Biennial and the Galería de Arte Nacional (GAN),[citation needed] and have been shown in Buenos Aires, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States as well as Venezuela.

[2] In 1972, she entered the Escuela de Artes Plásticas Cristóbal Rojas de Caracas (School of Plastic Arts Cristobal Rojas), where she studied with artists including Luis Guevara Moreno, Alirio Rodríguez, Edgar Sánchez and Pedro León Zapata.

She attended the Venice Biennale and returned to Spain with a complete vision of the greatest masters of European art, and an intense study of Picasso’s work.

Crucifixion became the center of her religious work, seen in La Cena where she personifies Jesus and Judas in a double self portrait.

This exhibition was displayed in a gallery called Los Espacios Cálidos in the Caracas Athenaeum, which is a cultural institution.

[10][1] At the beginning of the 90s, Quiñones started the series Tiempo de Flores y Otros Deleites, which featured works painted with her fingers.

Here she started and finished the series Los Infantes, which she said was inspired by her dreams of games, dolls and objects from her infancy dressed in illusion and fantasy.

[5][10] At the beginning of 1999 she continued with everyday characters and included portraits of children, Jewish families and Holocaust victims within a series.
