Gloria Vers
Painter
Bio
A Barcelona-born visual artist, Gloria Martinez Vers holds degrees in Business Administration from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Fine Arts from the Universitat de Barcelona. Her artistic journey began at age 19 in the studio of Anna M. Couderch, where she was introduced to drawing, watercolor, and silk painting. Over time, her practice evolved into acrylic painting, incorporating textures, oxides, and natural materials.
Her Fine Arts education gave her a strong foundation in art history, color theory, and diverse visual languages, which she has transformed into a free and ever-evolving artistic practice. She does not confine her work to a specific style; instead, her art continuously grows and reinvents itself. Her work is emotional and introspective, expressing what words cannot—making the invisible visible.
She is known for her material-based approach, often using organic elements such as sand, stones, wood, and natural pigments. Favoring large-scale formats, she moves increasingly away from figuration to focus on the expressive power of color and matter.
The artist has participated in numerous group exhibitions with organizations like Associación Art and ACAI in Sabadell, ASSART in Barcelona, and Hiper Art in Andorra. She has also collaborated several times with MADS Art Gallery in Milan, including a show at Barcelona’s iconic Casa Batlló, as well as with the collective Nartworks. Her solo exhibitions have been held in venues such as Els Quatre Gats in Barcelona, Club del Cafè Novell in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Manduca café in Sabadell, and various art spaces in Sabadell and Terrassa. Her work was recognized with the Honorary Award at the II and III Winter Salon in 2001 and 2002.
Her paintings aim to stop time and evoke what lies at the heart of existence—beyond what can be named. Rather than depicting the visible, she seeks to reveal the unseen: the trace of an instant, the presence of emptiness, and the emotion within color once it ceases to be mere material. Using layers, textures, oxides, and cracks, she builds each piece as if uncovering the soul’s layers. Her inspiration comes from natural forces, the erosion of time, the persistence of silence, and the eternal within the ephemeral. Her abstract art doesn’t aim to explain life but to inhabit it, reaching the vibrational point where matter meets spirit. She paints with her hands, spatulas, fire, water—whatever is needed to express the formless. Each work becomes a living body, a mirror of inner time, offering not answers but open questions for the viewer to explore. Her work is ultimately a celebration of change—a reminder that everything is in motion, and even decay can hold beauty.
