Verónica Bilbao was born in Buenos Aires in 1967. She studied and graduated in Fine Arts at the Prilidiano Pueyrredón National School in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the class of 1990. After completing her studies, she worked as a teacher in Argentina for several years and then moved to Tarragona, Spain, where she continued her art teaching career at the Tarragonés Art School and the Taller de l’Abat. She then went on to work at the Tarragona History Museum and later as a Fine Arts specialist at the Fundesti Foundry in Valls. Since 2011, she has taught classes for the ONCE (National Commission for the Study of Spanish Languages) in Tarragona, Reus, Valls, and at Civic Centers in the Upper Part of Tarragona, Reus, and Valls. She is currently the director of the Verónica Bilbao Applied Arts Workshop in Tarragona. She is a versatile artist who also works masterfully in sculpture.
Her style can be described as expressionist, sometimes with surrealist details that define her distinct and distinctive personality. In her work, she employs a highly colorful palette, brimming with saturated colors, very characteristic of the Latin American compositional language in which she was trained. The themes of her work frequently recur in the study of the inner world of women, in which she emphasizes the subtlety of the weightless aspects of feminine magic, experimenting with colors that can accompany an idea or feeling she wishes to convey. She has held numerous exhibitions, both in Catalonia and Spain, and internationally, including in Tarragona, Lleida, Reus, Valls, Cardona, Sitges, Cambrils, Bellpuig, and Zaragoza. Internationally, she has exhibited in Brussels, Andorra, and Limoux, and in 2010 and 2011 she was selected to participate in the "Academia del Arte" (Academy of the Arts) exhibitions, respectively.
