Brigitta Both is a Barcelona-based visual artist working across painting and collage.

Her practice explores the psychological tension between control and vulnerability, articulated through a restrained monochromatic language. Figures emerge and dissolve within layered surfaces, where fragmentation, erasure, and concealment operate as central strategies. The works resist fixed narratives, instead holding a charged ambiguity that invites projection and introspection.

Working primarily in black and white, Both reduces visual information to amplify emotional and structural intensity. Her compositions often incorporate elements of interruption and absence, creating a dialogue between what is revealed and what is withheld.

Born in Hungary, she studied fashion design in Budapest and later lived in Oxford for almost a decade before settling in Barcelona.

Both is the recipient of the Ricard Camí Painting Award and has exhibited internationally. Her works are held in private collections.

“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 Cheryl Hazan Gallery and Bader + Simon Gallery in the United States and Gallery Red in Spain.
