History of Art | Art, Power and Society in the Modern Age |
I graduated in Art History and obtained a master's degree in Advanced Studies in Spanish Art History from the Complutense University of Madrid. Subsequently I obtained a PhD in Art History from the Università di Bologna, linked to the Royal College of Spain, and a PhD in Archaeology from the University Rovira i Virgili, linked to the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology, with FPU scholarship and Extraordinary Award.
Then I was a Juan de la Cierva-Training researcher in the Department of History of Art and Heritage of the CSIC and currently I enjoy a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporation contract in the Department of History of Art of the UVa.
I have done research stays at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, the Università di Bologna, the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art, the Università di Roma La Sapienza and Harvard University, the latter with a Fulbright scholarship.
I am interested in international relations and the phenomena of artistic hybridization in the Hispanic world in the context of early globalization. I am developing this line of research through three converging fields:
- Iberian Peninsula: relations between the peninsular Christian kingdoms and al-Andalus, Italy and Flanders (14th-16th centuries).
- America: phenomena of cultural hybridization in New Spain (16th century).
- Asia: phenomena of cultural hybridization between the Hispanic world and China (16th-19th centuries).
I am interested in building an Art History of the Hispanic world from a panoramic and transversal vision, taking into account its diversity, the classical legacy and the global and transcultural interactions.
