Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Marisa Alberca ‘Asfalto, tierra y agua’', an exhibition showcasing twelve paintings by Madrileña artist Marisa Alberca. Born in 1958, Alberca, who began drawing as a child and later studied nursing, has navigated significant visual impairment since age seven, eventually affiliating with ONCE in 1996. Despite her progressive vision loss, which has left her seeing lights and shadows, she has continued her artistic practice, finding in painting both physical and mental therapy. The exhibition highlighted her personal and intuitive approach to color selection and her mastery of quick painting techniques, particularly with acrylics and watercolors. Alberca's artistic journey includes participation in rapid painting competitions, such as winning second place in the XVI Certamen de Pintura Rápida de Moratalaz in 2014, and being part of the artist group ‘Arte en la calle’ from 2011 to 2016.
