Raquel Arias

Arias creates large-scale abstract paintings using Mediterranean sand and mineral textures. Her abstract work is conceived for contemporary interiors, boutique hotels and hospitality spaces, with bespoke commissions available for architects and interior designers.

She also paints a personal intimate collection of figurative artworks. A limited selection where magical realism capture the female experience.

Prior to embarking on her artistic journey full-time, Arias enjoyed a successful career in international business management having worked and lived in the United States, India, Italy, and Spain. Her diverse professional background enriches her artistic perspective, infusing her work with depth, nuance, and cultural resonance.

She works out of her studio in Valles, Barcelona, between the city and Costa Brava in an old mediterranean home surrounded by nature and in company of her dog, a shelter rescue mix with border collie.
