Spanish-born, but now living and working in Bali, Indonesia, Mersuka Dopazo is a phenomenon. Her pictures – large in scale yet light in spirit - embody her rare energy. The outsized still-lifes and life-size figure-paintings combine elements of painting, of drawing, of collage, of appliqué. Incorporating fragments of text and cuttings of textile, the artist's printed fabrics and patterned papers are sourced from the far reaches of the globe: collected during travels in India and the Far East, in China and Europe. They find their place in the controlled exuberance of her art.

Dopazo's works have been exhibited extensively in the UK, the USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and Europe. She was the subject of a recent monograph, My Dream Reality: Mersuka Dopazo (Barcelona, 2020).
