Bimba y Lola raises its bet on art. Last Wednesday was the opening of the exhibition in honor of Maruja Mallo at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. The fashion company sponsored the exhibition Máscara y compás, which brings together more than 200 works from the private collection of one of the most singular artists of the Spanish avant-garde.

The retrospective exhibition of the Galician artist will be on display until March 16th, 2026, organized in chronological order, taking as a reference her series of paintings that trace her entire career, from the most realistic and the compositions of her most important works. The exhibition is organized in chronological order, taking reference to her series of paintings that trace her entire career, from the magical realism and surrealist compositions of her early years to the geometric and fantastic configurations of her latest works.

Linked to artists of the Generation of ‘27 such as Federico García Lorca or Salvador Dalí, the Galician Maruja Mallo exhibited in several galleries, gaining notoriety on the national scene in the 1930s. Her works showed a vibrant and colorful style, with deformed figures and scenes full of symbolism, which led her to participate in international exhibitions and receive awards that consolidated her artistic prestige.
