Tatiana Medal

Tatiana Medal was born in A Coruña in 1971 and graduated in Fine Arts, specialising in Painting, from the University of Vigo. She completed her training at Ar.Co, Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual, in Lisbon.

She has also received awards including the Grand Honorary Prize at the A Coruña Autumn Painting Salon and the Acquisition Prize at the Isaac Díaz Pardo Visual Arts Competition.

She has presented solo exhibitions at Fundación Luis Seoane, MACUF, Centro Torrente Ballester, Weston & Rodríguez Fine Art in Mallorca, the University of A Coruña, the SCQ Galeria in Santiago de Compostela and Módulo, Centro Difusor de Arte, in Lisbon and Porto.

She has taken part in group exhibitions at institutions including MARCO in Vigo, CGAC in Santiago de Compostela, IVAM and Cidade da Cultura de Galicia.

She has also taken part on several occasions in ARCO Madrid, the Lisbon Art Fair and Art Forum Berlin.

Her work is held in major collections including the ABANCA Collection, CGAC, Fundación Barrié de la Maza, Spain's Ministry of Culture and Museo de Pontevedra, among others.
