Elima Cardenal

Born in Alcoi (Alicante). From a young age, she starts her learning journey in the arts. She learns about aesthetics, and how to reflect and express her views and imagination.

For two consecutive years, she received an honorable mention in artistic drawing. She also received a scholarship to study color and oil painting techniques taught by professor Mrs. Vicenta Mut de Escrivá.

A few years later, Elima attended classes in life drawing in charcoal and sanguine technique at the School of Fine Arts in Alcoi taught by Master Mr. Ramón Castañer. Complementing her studies, she learned oil painting techniques applied to life drawing and human figures. She obtained the title of interior designer and participated in several courses and workshops to complete her training. 

She applies different techniques in her work: drawing, experimental painting, contemporary art, engraving, walnut color stain and dyes, watercolor, cold ceramics, cloisonne, mosaic, pastel color technique, transfer style, and others.

She was the general manager at Impact Gallery in Alicante for two years. She has designed book covers, and created designs for the “Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos de Alcoi” (officially Declared Site of Cultural Interest).

Light and color are reflected in her work. Her great friendship with Rodovi and Mila Gomis has encouraged her to continue her artistic career and inspired her passion for the arts.
