Mallo’s visual language, full of vitality, organic forms, and dreamlike worlds, resonates with the spirit of BIMBA Y LOLA, which since its beginnings has made color, prints, and experimentation a hallmark of its identity.

Mallo’s visual language resonates with the spirit of BIMBA Y LOLA.
Maruja Mallo (Ana María Gómez González, Viveiro, 1902 - Madrid, 1995) was one of the great Spanish artists of the 20th-century and a leading figure among the 'Generation of 27', which included Rafael Alberti, Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca, María Zambrano, Luis Buñuel and Rosa Chacel. Mallo is, furthermore, the most important representative of a group of artists who, collectively and for the first time, projected a worldview that was not only new for being female, but for coming from the perspective of the modern, active, free and professional woman.
