Carmen Calvo Sáenz de Tejada (born 1950) is a Spanish conceptual artist, noted for her contribution to the contemporary art of the Valencian Community.

[1] In her youth she worked in a ceramic factory, an experience which would later be reflected in her art, which includes fragments of pottery and clay.

[1] An admirer and follower of artists such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Filippo De Pisis, Carlo Carrà, Jean Arp, Joan Miró, and Jannis Kounellis,[4] Calvo incorporated terracotta into her plastic compositions very early on so that this element would become an icon of her work.

[5] In the 1980s she received several scholarships, and won distinctions such as the LaSalle Seiko First Prize for Painting and the Alfons Roig Award from the Provincial Diputation of Valencia [es].

[13] Feminist themes have been prominent in Calvo's work,[2] and in March 2019, she and fellow artist Carla Fuentes received the Carmen Alborch Award from the Socialist Party of the Valencian Country for their contributions to culture and feminism.
