Rosy Revelo

Ecuadorian visual artist with a PhD in Research and Artistic Creation from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU, Spain), awarded Cum Laude distinction. She also holds a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DEA) in Aesthetics, Values and Culture from the same institution. She obtained her degree in Printmaking and Painting from the Faculty of Arts at the Central University of Ecuador. Her career integrates artistic practice, academic research and cultural management, and she has also worked as a lecturer at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE). Her artistic practice is defined by a continuous exploration of the poetics of the sign, where visual language emerges from the interaction between matter, gesture and abstraction. In her work, the sign becomes embedded within material surfaces, producing compositions where color, texture and mark-making generate powerful visual structures. This aesthetic research investigates the relationship between sign, form and materiality, creating a visual language that moves between symbolic presence and sensory experience. Her work has been discussed by critic Hernán Rodríguez Castelo in the Critical Dictionary of Ecuadorian Plastic Artists of the 20th Century, highlighting her contribution to contemporary Ecuadorian art.
