Bel Fullana, Lil Techno Kitty, 2023. Oil and spray on canvas. 35 x 27 cm.

Bel Fullana (b. 1985, Mallorca, Spain) is known for creating paintings of imaginary female characters with strong, uncompromising attitudes. Her work combines brightly coloured oil and spray paint with childlike finishes, taking inspiration from comic books, films from the 1990s and urban underground culture. Fullana’s protagonists are characterised by irony, humour, pastiche, and theatricality, culminating to a unique metallic grunge that brims with sinister yet playful femininity.

Sayonara Baby pays homage to Fullana’s eccentric universe and its colourful inhabitants, as she transitions from the ornamented and otherworldly towards a more inward, intimate perspective.

Fullana earned a degree in Fine Art from the University of Barcelona, and has held exhibitions in Europe, London, Los Angeles, New York, South America and Asia.
