Maite Cascón is an artist-printmaker whose richly detailed prints draw viewers into the hidden corners of the human mind. Populated by countless figures and symbols, her works reinterpret and explore myths and belief systems that have evolved over centuries, bringing them into dialogue with the present.
Nature is central to her practice, reflecting both our psychological bond with the natural world and our longing to reconnect with it. Through etching, aquatint, and drypoint, Cascón develops a distinctive visual language that is at times absurd, violent, or tender, yet always deeply rooted in human nature.
With a sharp eye and a playful sense of humour, she challenges inherited ideas that still continue to influence us, inviting viewers into a dreamlike world that encourages slow and attentive observation.
Her work has received numerous awards, including grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, the Gwen May Award from the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair Prize. Recent exhibitions include The Forest Within at Museum De Reede in Antwerp, the London Original Print Fair, and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London.
