NANI SERRANO (Alcoi, 1967). Venus and Cupid, 2018. Airbrush on canvas. A certificate of authenticity will be included. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm. "The sensual Venus, with her sweet charm, strips Cupid of his power, taking away his bow and reducing him to a tiny angelic being on a whim. Now the fate of love lies in Venus’s hands." (Nani Serrano, 2017). Nani Serrano began her career as a graphic designer and in advertising illustration, later delving into the art of airbrushing, collage, and other media in which she prioritizes manual work, through which she seeks to unite art and illustration. She has been included in the catalog *Spanish Illustrators* (Lunwerg), which showcases the highlights of contemporary illustration. She has exhibited at the Agora 3 gallery (Sitges, 2012); Art Window (2012); Espace Cultural Ample (2011, 2010, 2009); Desig (2008); Expo_7 (2005); and La Guillotina (Valencia, 1999), among others. She explores the expressive possibilities of airbrush painting, a technique she masters with virtuosity. She uses it to create a dialogue between disciplines and languages—such as photography and historical painting—to reflect on representations of women in art and advertising. A certificate of authenticity will be attached.
