Myriam Arnelas
Born in 1976.
Myriam Arnelas is identified in the sources as an artist active in Switzerland (with the mention “MYRIAM ARNELAS (SCHWEIZ)”) and is described as a “schweizerisch-spanische Doppelbürgerin”, that is, as holding dual Swiss and Spanish citizenship.
One article presents her as “aus Zug”, indicating that her activity is situated in Zug.
Her training includes studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada (Spain), followed by the “Kunst und Beruf” programme at the Institut für Kunstgeschichte of the University of Bern.
Her documented practice combines photography and painting: during a studio residency in Cairo, she produced a series of photographs and images addressing “Verschleierung” and “das Unnahbare” of the Islamic female sphere, using numerous superimposed layers of acrylic through which the backgrounds remain visible.
Among the solo exhibitions recorded in the sources are “Auf den Strassen Kairos” (Haus Zentrum, Kulturabteilung Stadt Zug, 2009), “(más) impresiones habaneras” (Havana Galerie, Zürich, 2010), and “Havanna Schwarz-Weiss” (Ankenwaage, Kulturabteilung Stadt Zug, 2011).
She also participated in a group exhibition documented in the records, “Werke des Kantons” at the Kunsthaus Zug (2016–17).
