Public museums and institutions are obliged to observe the law of equality between men and women and to determine balances that have been unthinkable until recently. What might seem bureaucratic storage is clearly logical, because women are mostly and the reason for merit must not be dominant. It was very difficult to be an artistic woman before a century ago and not to try in an attempt, but after democracy and constant struggle they have only against some prejudice and remembering ideological position.
According to my calculations, since the end of the 19th century to the post -war period, only the Asturians have been notoriously devoted to art, but then there are more than a hundred that did it professionally, with frequent exhibitions and greater or less success. In 2017, a sample of plastic art of the Principality of Asturies was made up exclusively by women who respond only to a reality that eventually saved without axle.
With their efforts and will, they show that there are no longer forbidden fields for creation, and that if one does not reach where it has been designed, it is no longer due to obstacles and obstacles to the company, but that the goals to be achieved are sometimes presented as an unattainable ideal that it has to have sex.
This conviction was waiting for some of the institutions as waterproof as the Museum of Fine Arts Asturia, which, as long as nothing takes into account this perspective, despite the fact that most of its employees are made up of women. But since 2022, the matter will change and it is strange a year when one, two or up to three exhibitions in the leading role of artists, as this year 2025. And according to the most cornant legends and pre -established criteria, it seems that everything suggests that the museum will end the director as soon as the selection process is completed.
Currently there are two individual prominent women, one in the Velarde Palace, which becomes the one dedicated to Noemi iglesiasAs part of a specific project program and others in the Oviedo-Portal house. Both are also curated by women, the second for Laura BañosAssistant for preserving industrial and graphic art and first from Sara Morothat until recently he was the head of the road and still deals with this widespread museum of fine arts, in which Sabadell Herrero Bank of Oviedo, in which he has just opened, under his commissioner, retrospective of one of the best Asturian painters of all time, Reyes Disad.

In two rooms dedicated to the VLARDE Palace for a specific project program, and especially in its central courtyard, impressive design of stall painters Breza Cecchini ríu, That he leaves without leaving his special visual world, of most thirty roads, and also shows sculpture, ceramics and textile art. The strongest image is the painting of the statue, which chair the central courtyard in which the rider or Amazon holds a brave move of the horse, the symbol of male power and its intimidating power. The ride of Cecchini’s painting is visited by expressive totems, such as horses and wolves with which it develops dream stories that sometimes become nightmares, treated with naivety and freshness that characterizes it and its agile and live stroke. He says he does not understand it, but few contemporary artists have such a prescription of personal imaginary.
Part of it Covadonga Valdés Moré Convert two rooms of the Oviedo-Portal, which was assigned, dedicated to paper, in a delicious fruit tree garden in which the birds tremble like passage of stations. The exhibition consists of thirty -sevent of drawings of various formats and techniques, two copies and eight books of artists, pocket gardens, to which a specific intervention in the form of wall color is added. One of the stamps, adapted, served in 2023 to congratulate Christmas to readers of the new Spain. They are the interior landscape of their most personal areas made with an eastern delicacy, in colorful aircraft limited by narrow -line lines that give shadows and empty reserves.
