Olga Cáceres / visual artist and sculptor.
Born in Aubervilliers, France, 1972 — Currently lives and works in Madrid, Spain.
Initially trained in Hispanic Philology at the Sorbonne (Paris), Olga Cáceres discovered in sculpture a profound way to express what lies beyond words. Her transition into the visual arts began in 2001 at the Escuela de Arte La Palma in Madrid, where she specialized in sculpture. Over the years, she has expanded her skills through advanced studies in ceramics, bronze casting techniques, and various carving and modeling processes.
Her artistic practice is defined by a sensitive and meticulous approach to materials. Cáceres’s versatility is reflected in her mastery of diverse mediums—bronze, wood, ceramic, and iron—and in her series-based work, which explores connections between the human body, nature, emotion, and transformation.
Artist Statement:
“Reflecting on recent years, the variety of sculptural techniques I work with and the materials I use have enriched both a sculptural and thematic language.
The story I tell revolves around living beings, their emotions, and their evolution. Most of the time, I work in series of 5 to 15 pieces.
My curiosity for exploring and researching multiple techniques and materials allows me to work independently from the very first sketch to the final finish. I enjoy working with both abstract and figurative forms, whether in bronze or wood, through carving or welding.
Lately, I even complete the sculptural work with photography, as a kind of self-portrait of the artist’s emotions.”
With over 80 solo and group exhibitions in France and Spain, Cáceres has been selected for notable competitions such as the Salón de Otoño of the Spanish Association of Painters and Sculptors (AEPE) in Madrid, the Manel Batlle Sculpture Prize in Granollers, the Ceramics Competition of Valladolid, and the Miradas de Mujeres Festival. Her work is part of permanent collections such as the Centro Cultural Los Pinos in Alcorcón, Spain, and she has contributed to public art projects, including the sculptural ensemble Músicos en el parque in Rivas Vaciamadrid, Madrid.
Olga Cáceres cultivates a deeply free, experimental, and introspective practice. Her sculptures, often accompanied by photographic elements, unfold as spaces of poetic resistance—where material gesture becomes a means of questioning the world, its rhythms, and its unseen presences.
