Brigitta Both is a Barcelona-based visual artist working across various different media. Aside from paintings, she creates collages, photography and video art by integrating her personal, contextual and fictional perspectives .

Brigitta was born in Hungary in January 1978 and moved to Oxford, United Kingdom in 2007. After eight years in England, she relocated to Barcelona in 2015, the city of her dreams, where she presented her works to the public for the first time and had her first collective and individual exhibitions.

She studied fashion design in Budapest. After working for 15 years in the fashion industry as a fashion and graphic designer, she became interested in collage art, mixed media paintings, and photography. She enjoys working with various materials such as different types of papers, acrylic paint, and ink to experiment with combining figurative and abstract forms of expression.

She is interested in psychology, and her works primarily revolve around the fragility and unpredictability of all aspects of life and the beauty of the infinite nuances of human emotions. Living in different countries and learning about different cultures has deeply affected her. In England, she met artists who inspired her and helped her believe in her artistic career. She is strongly influenced by black and white photography, and recently, she prefers working with a simplified monochromatic technique.

"For me, creating art is like therapy that comforts me, and I can incorporate all my life experiences into my works. I always express something I feel, something that happened to me, or something I hope for in the future."

In 2021, Brigitta was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Despite the challenges, after being able to work again, she continued to create during her chemotherapy in her Barcelona-based studio and triumphed over her illness. The near-death experience left an indelible mark on her artistic expression, defining her focus on human values and love. Nevertheless, her works attempt to show that beauty is everywhere around us and the ability of recognising it can help us through the difficulties.

In 2017 she was awarded the “BBVA de Pintura Ricard Camí” award.

“Her works are profound pieces with a powerful psychological component that fuse the figurative and abstract worlds” – Antigues Caixes Catalanes Foundation.

Brigitta Both is represented by Gallery Red in Spain and Cheryl Hazan Gallery in New York.
