BIO

Lara Ordóñez

Castellón

1995

Lara Ordóñez works with textile supports and techniques within contemporary artistic production. In recent years, she has participated in several artist residencies in Spain and Europe, including at the Centre d’Art La Rectoria (Barcelona) and the Berlin Art Institute (Berlin, Germany), and has taken part in various international art exhibitions and fairs. In 2025, she will participate in Artists in Residencia at La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, in Mallorca. She is currently developing her doctoral thesis at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.

Her work addresses the relationship between oral and collective memory and textile language, all linked to the private spaces of the home, heritage, and the transmission of knowledge.

Her artistic research revolves around the concept of identity, both personal and collective, and how cultural heritage endures through expressions, objects, places, materials, and processes. The artist incorporates this heritage into her discourse through the use of textile techniques, natural dyeing, and the formats she works with. Textile invites manipulation, material and technical experimentation, and offers opportunities to explore how to tell stories through a process in which time is another present element.

Her works have been awarded at Abierto Valencia 2024 by the Hortensia Herrero Foundation, Colección La Escalera, and the Feria Marte de Castellón, as well as at Estampa 2024, where she received the Acquisition Prize from Colección La Escalera, as well as the Acquisition Prize from Cervezas Alhambra. She is also part of collections such as the DiGood Collection and has been exhibited in public institutions such as the EACC Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo de Castellón and the Espai d’Art Contemporani El Castell – ECA of Riba-roja. She was also awarded the Castellón Prize 2023 at the Feria Marte de Castellón.
