Yolanda Sanmarcos es artista visual. Arttista hiperrealista, formada en artes plásticas, diseño industrial y diseño especulativo, desarrolla lo que denomina Through speculative psychological hyperrealism,: una práctica que parte del retrato al óleo y se expande hacia la instalación y el objeto para dar forma precisa a estados que carecen de imagen, como el vacío, el ego o el subconsciente. Su obra forma parte de la colección permanente La Valija Iberoamericana (Toledo), en la que representa a Andorra. Ha recibido el primer premio (2022) y el tercer premio (2024) de la Bienal Ordino Jardins d’Art y ha participado en todas las ediciones de Andorra Crea desde su creación, además de en Hybrid Art Fair (Madrid). En 2027 presentará su serie Especulaciones Íntimas en Andorra Crea. Vive y trabaja en Canillo, Andorra.

STATEMENT

My artistic practice is driven by a question that has guided my entire body of work: how do we make visible what human beings inhabit internally but refuse to name?

I began with oil painting as a technical foundation — hyperrealist portraiture as an instrument of precision, not representation. Over time, I expanded that language into installation and the creation of speculative objects, not because I changed territory, but because some territories demand different means. What I call speculative psychological hyperrealism is exactly that: the technically precise materialisation of states that have no visual representation — the void, the ego, the subconscious, creativity and its moral shadow. Through speculative psychological hyperrealism, is exactly that: the technically precise materialisation of states that have no visual representation — the void, the ego, the subconscious, creativity and its moral shadow.

Each project maps a different territory. The paintingsEspeculaciones Íntimasexplore states of the subconscious and position you as a witness. Estèril examines human creativity severed from moral responsibility, inviting the viewer to think and leave a mark. BUIT gives form to the need for emptiness as inhabitable space — you enter it. Shoot Your Words Back investigates the ego as simultaneously destructive and creative energy, and turns the viewer into an accomplice: you buy the bullet, you choose to fire.

My work does not offer safe distance. The relationship with the viewer is always active — witness, thinker, inhabitant, accomplice — because the territories I explore cannot be observed from the outside.
