The artist Fina Miralles (Sabadell, 1950) is the winner of this year's National Visual Arts Award "for her pioneering role since the 1970s within the framework of feminism and early environmentalist positions, vindicating the relationship between human beings and nature," as stated in the statement released by the ministry. The award was made public by the ministry. 30,000 euros. "I wondered when they would wake up the people of Madrid. It was time," Miralles said this Monday upon learning that she had won the award and after recalling that in 2018 she had already received the National Visual Arts Award granted by the Generalitat.

When Joan Miró set out to create his foundation, he did not want it to be a mausoleum for his art, but rather a centre that would shelter younger artists. Thus, Espai 10, which was later renamed Espai 13, was a pioneering place for creators of the younger generations to be able to exhibit, sometimes for the first time, in an institution. Among these creators were Fina Miralles (Sabadell, 1950), Susana Solano (Barcelona, ​​​​1946) and Eva Lootz (Vienna, 1940), who exhibited at Espai 10 in the seventies and eighties.
