Rebeka Elizegi is a visual artist and graphic designer graduated from the Massana School of Art and Design in Barcelona.
Collage is the artistic medium she uses to develop her small, medium, and large format pieces, applying the classic manual collage technique and the exploration of diverse materials.
The female figure occupies an important place in her work, although she also focuses on issues such as gender diversity and other social issues. Images of bodies are also a constant in her work; The body understood as a space that oppresses, marks, and stigmatizes by color, age, or gender, which is so often a reason for submission, and which she tries to liberate through her compositions.
In parallel to exhibitions, which have an artistic and personal character, her collages have also illustrated many book and magazine covers, as well as records and posters.
She has published several illustrated books using the collage technique and is the author of the books Collage Therapy and Collage by Women (Hoaki Books), Collage Creativo (Alma Editorial) and Collage to Change the World (BIS Publishers).
She has worked for clients such as Alma – Obra Social de La Caixa, San Telmo Museum, Barcelona City Council, Lunwerg publishing house (Grupo Planeta), Gran Meliá Hoteles, A&G Private Banking, Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Sexto Piso publishing house, semFYC – Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine, KM Cultural Centre, Argiartean Festival, Ma non Troppo (Redbook publishing house), Donostia Kultura, Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona, EAPN + Gobierno de España, Penguin Libros, Joven Dolores or Jah Chango. In press she has collaborated with the newspapers La Vanguardia, Barcelona Metrópolis, Der Spiegel and Le Monde Diplomatique.
Her work has been exhibited in Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian, Los Angeles, Warsaw, Kyiv or Berlin, and some of her pieces are part of international private collections.
She has taught many artistic, cultural and social courses and workshops for institutions and spaces such as he Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, the Provincial Museum Network of Lugo, Women Looking at Women, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, the San Telmo Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, the Formentera Council, the Library of Castilla la Mancha or UNED University. Together with researcher Paola Buedo, she is the creator of CollageMente, an initiative that proposes exploring mental health through the practice of collage.
