Irene Prada

Irene Prada’s work exudes an energy and movement through an expressive use of line.

The fluidity and freedom of Prada's paintings and prints reflect her earlier vibrant drawings as a fashion designer in the world of haute couture.

Prada graduated from the Italian School of Design & Fashion in 1981, followed by many years designing for the British and Spanish royal families. In 1997 she formally trained in all printmaking techniques.

Prada’s work draws inspiration from her Spanish culture and traditions. The artist also makes reference to the great Spanish painters Velasquez and Picasso, most notably in the series of etchings entitled Las Meninas.

Irene Prada lives in Madrid.  She has exhibited in London, New York, Japan and throughout Spain.  Her work resides in collections worldwide, including the Spanish Foreign Office and numerous embassies.
