Exhibition «Meninas Madrid Gallery»

The flare of the skirt is enough to recognise a menina, even if its colours and patterns are completely different. That silhouette is the starting point for Meninas Madrid Gallery, the exhibition that artist Antonio Azzato first brought to the streets of Madrid in 2018. Each edition brings together creators who work with the same figure and find in it a way to tell very different stories.

This year, artists will once again customise 1.8-metre sculptures inspired by Velázquez’s painting. Each piece will have its title and the name of its designer on the base, two details that invite you to pause and take a closer look at the dress. The figures will be placed throughout the streets of Madrid, and the map of locations has yet to be published.

When the exhibition ends, a selection of the meninas will be auctioned and 80% of the proceeds will go to foundations and charitable causes.
