Ana Genovés was born in Madrid in 1969. She received a BA from Chelsea College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London, in 1993 and a Postgraduate from Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, in 1995. She lives and works in London.
Genovés was a finalist for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women (6th edition) 2015-17.
Genovés' work spans different media: sculpture, painting and photography. In recent years she has developed an interest in objects that explore how our rational thinking coexists with other ungraspable aspects of our consciousness. Genovés believes that the shape we give to these objects, particularly when they interface with architecture or the other ways that we arrange social and civil space, frequently defaults to the clarity of logic of geometry to signify and contain the irrational.
