Dolors Cabdevila
Delores Cabdevila is an Argentine-born artist who is currently based in Canada. She was born in La Carlota, Argentina, in 1966.
After earning a degree in painting from the University of Cordoba in Argentina in 1990, she exhibited her work in Argentina and Brazil from 1990 to 1994. This period was crucial for her artistic development, allowing her to establish her style and gain recognition in the South American art scene.
In 1994, she moved to Germany, marking a turning point in her career. From 1995, she expanded her recognition in Europe by participating in the group exhibition "Contemporary Latin American Art" at the Casino in Tübingen and "Art in Tübingen" at the Tübingen Art Museum.
In 1999, she participated in the exhibition "Ausgesucht - 6 x 1" at the Peters-Barenbrock Gallery in Berlin and Ahrenshoop. In 2002, she participated in the group exhibition "10 Years Peters-Barenbrock Gallery" in Berlin, establishing her presence in the German art scene.
In 2004, she moved to Canada and continued her activities in North America, holding an exhibition at the Bongart Gallery in Hanover. In 2005, she participated in the group exhibition "Gifted" at the Bowen Island Art Gallery in Vancouver and was also invited to the "Florence International Biennial of Contemporary Art."
2006 was an active year for both solo and group exhibitions, including "The Secret Garden" (Bowen Island Gallery), "Retrospective" (West Vancouver Library), and "Harmony Art Festival" (Vancouver Ferry Building Gallery). She was again invited to the Florence International Biennial of Contemporary Art and participated in "art.fair" in Cologne.
In 2007, she continued to participate in international art events such as "art.fair" in Cologne and "Art Karlsruhe."
Her work is deeply influenced by her childhood memories and sensations in Argentina. With light and shadow as her themes, she explores expressions that evoke the light, shadows, scents, and secrets of her childhood garden. Through her work, Delores attempts a "return to lost time," expressing a connection to the past. Her works invite viewers on a journey of introspection, offering an experience of exploring memories and emotions.
