The exhibition "Raíces" by Elena Gual is a profound journey into the heart of Andalusia, where the artist explores her cultural and personal heritage through a series of impactful works. Presented at Casa de Vacas, an iconic space in Madrid’s Retiro Park, this exhibition offers a contemporary perspective on Andalusian traditions, fusing the past with the present.

Each piece in "Raíces" is a testament to Elena’s deep connection to her Andalusian roots. Her distinctive palette knife technique breathes life into every canvas, capturing the vibrant essence of the region. In addition to her portraits, Gual incorporates cultural symbols like mantones, flowers, and peinetas, representing the strength and beauty of Andalusian women. These elements do more than adorn her works—they are deeply embedded in the visual narrative of the exhibition, underscoring how ancient traditions can remain relevant and powerful today.
