Tenerife Artist Carmen Méndez Marco Debuts Solo Exhibition at Real Casino de Tenerife
Twenty-five-year-old artist Carmen Méndez Marco is debuting her first solo exhibition, Genesis: From Line to Volume, at the Real Casino de Tenerife this Friday, showcasing a multidisciplinary collection of paintings and wood sculptures.
The Canary Islands’ art scene is undergoing a generational shift, with 25-year-old Tenerife artist Carmen Méndez Marco emerging as a key new talent. This week, she marks a major career milestone with the opening of her first solo exhibition, Genesis: From Line to Volume.
The exhibition opens this Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the Real Casino de Tenerife. Rather than a traditional gallery display, the show is an introspective look at how forms are created. It is the first time Méndez Marco has combined her paintings with her wood sculptures, bridging the gap between two-dimensional brushstrokes and three-dimensional organic materials.
Running until May 29, the exhibition reflects a growing trend among local artists to showcase their work in historic venues. Choosing the Real Casino de Tenerife is a deliberate move, creating a striking contrast between the building’s classical architecture and the artist’s modern, dynamic use of wood.
For Méndez Marco, this exhibition confirms her status as a multidisciplinary artist. Moving from formal training to creating a cohesive, independent body of work is a significant challenge for any young creator. At 25, she uses this show to demonstrate her creative maturity, offering viewers a moment of calm and reflection on the essence of art amidst today’s visually crowded world.
