Who are QUADRA’s artists?

QUADRA’s artistic programme is developed through a range of authorial identities or heteronyms.

Each artist develops a distinct visual universe, with their own language, sensibility and particular approach to the image.

The works are presented and signed under the identity of each artist.

What is a heteronym?

A heteronym is an authorial identity created to develop a distinct artistic universe, with its own language, references, methods and sensibility.

At QUADRA, heteronyms allow different ways of seeing and understanding the image to coexist within the same space, while preserving the identity and coherence of each artistic universe.
