Ángeles Agrela (b. 1966, Úbeda, Spain) has resided in Naples, La Habana, and Berlin, and currently lives and works in Granada.

Her recent works seek to conceptualize the role of women within the History of Art by creating a contemporary representative view. Following this theme, the key feature of her drawings becomes the hair, which has important cultural and historical connotations within representation of the feminine. She uses the symbolic charge and communicatory capacity of hair to create an exaggerated mass that often substitutes the face or hides it completely, as a playful way to divert attention away from the face and towards how women choose to represent themselves.
