Inés Maestre is a visual artist whose practice explores identity, desire, and emotional contradiction through image-making. Working across collage, painting, photography, and digital processes, she creates layered, dreamlike compositions that move between vulnerability and excess, intimacy and spectacle.
Her work often begins with fragments—images drawn from personal archives, pop culture, mass media, and digital environments. These elements are carefully reassembled to form visual narratives that reflect how people construct and perform themselves, and how desire operates through images. Maestre is particularly interested in dualities: object and subject, strength and fragility, fantasy and reality, love and conflict.
By reclaiming familiar icons and cultural symbols, she reshapes them into emotionally charged scenes that mirror both personal experience and collective imagination. Her images suggest that transformation is never singular or stable, and that identity is something continuously negotiated through longing, memory, and projection.
