With a degree in Technical Architecture from the Universitat de Barcelona, Eugènia Balcells begins her artistic career in the mid-sixties and becomes one of the pioneers of audiovisual art and experimental art in Spain. Her artwork focuses on human perception and seeks a permanent balance between the intangible and the material, and is also characterized by using light as a core element. Her work has been exhibited at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), El Museo del Barrio (New York) and the Centro Cultural de Belém (Lisbon), among others. In 2010 she was awarded the Premi Nacional d’Arts Visuals de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
