Ana García-Pineda holds a degree in Fine Art from the University of Barcelona and the Universität der Künste Berlin (2006). Her drawings reflect her peculiar vision of the world. Small illustrated aphorisms or minimalist maxims with a touch of naive, absurd humour that can overturn our beliefs, or at least lead us to question them.
In 2016, she presented Bocadillos (Galería SIS, Sabadell, 2016) and La ficción es una realidad por suceder (Espai 13, Fundació Miró, Barcelona, 2016). Her previous solo exhibitions include Es físicamente imposible para los cerdos mirar al cielo (Galeria +R, Barcelona, 2014); Columnas y respuestas (EtHall, Barcelona, 2012); Enterrar los problemas y esperar a la llegada de los zombis (Espacio Abisal, Bilbao, 2010); Romperlo todo y que haga tiroriro (Aparador Museu Abelló, Mollet del Vallès, 2008); Salvar el mundo (Sala Soler i Palet, Terrassa, 2007).
