Rebeca Elmúdesi (Dominican Republic, 2003) is a visual artist based in Madrid whose pictorial practice explores the mechanisms of perception, the construction of identity, and the tensions that arise between one's own gaze and the gaze of others. Rooted in her Dominican background and shaped by a European formative experience, her work moves through expressive figuration, psychological spaces, and surreal disruptions, creating images that feel at once intimate and strangely exposed.

Working primarily with acrylic, oil pastel, and textured materials such as marble dust, Elmúdesi builds dense surfaces through layering, scraping, accumulation, and erasure. The traces of this process remain visible, turning each painting into a kind of excavation—of memory, of self-image, of emotion. Eyes, reflections, fragmented figures, and inhabited interiors recur throughout her work, not as motifs in isolation, but as ways of holding vulnerability, scrutiny, and contradiction in the same frame.

Her work has been presented in the solo exhibition Si me ves, te veo (2025) and the group exhibition Say It to My Face(s) (2024). Across her practice, Elmúdesi constructs images that do not simply ask to be looked at, but to be inhabited: open scenes where the viewer's own projections become part of the work itself.
