Susana Talayero

– Casa Wabi 2025

Community Project

Her project consisted of sharing techniques and knowledge with the Mobile Library Program of the Coast, drawing from her artistic and teaching experience. The aim is to develop community projects that integrate painting, literature, and the social and natural environment of the coast by incorporating various artistic languages to broaden the cultural horizon of participants through art. The shared tools help create direct connections between artistic and literary techniques and a specific theme or curricular teaching, reinforcing knowledge and fostering aesthetic and creative skills.

Bilbao 1961

After graduating in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country, Susana Talayero (Bilbao, 1961) moved to Rome, where she embarked on her career as an artist and lived between 1986 and 1996. On her return to Bilbao she expanded her artistic practice of painting and drawing to video. Her current work explores the relationship between the painting and the architectural space (expressed in montages that she makes around the idea of precariousness and breakage) with a series of works in a playful exercise with abstraction, in which paintings with figurative elements are inserted.

Her work as an artist combines whith education in artistic institutions of the Basque Country and the the organization of self-managed and collaborative public meetings at his home/studio in Bilbao. Among her most recent solo shows are: Meteora, CarrerasMugica gallery, Bilbao (2023); Presages, Casa Cultura Santanyí, Mallorca (2021); The Darkness Within, CarrerasMugica, Bilbao (2019); Tales of Training, CAB Burgos (2018); A Certain Organisation of Things, AOC Bruno Lisi gallery, Rome (2017); and Restless Chronicle (1987-2016), Bilbao Fine Arts Museum (2016).
