And also with many young artists that are exhibiting at the gallery for their first time like Maria Carretero, Rafael Grassi, Sean Mackaoui or Alfredo Santos.

The gallery has also done thematic exhibitions of books and toys made by artists or Cuban cinema.

Nieves Fernandez Gallery keeps working with masters of Contemporary and Modern art, as well as with young artists, giving them the opportunity to exhibit in fairs like Art Cologne, Art Chicago, and to start to build a strong career in and out of Spain.
