María de los Remedios Alicia Rodriga Varo y Uranga (Anglès, Gerona (Spain), December 16, 1908 - Mexico City, October 8, 1963), known as Remedios Varo, was an Spanish surrealist painter, writer and graphic artist. Was one of the first women who studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid. In 1932 she settled in Barcelona, where she worked as an advertising designer, joining the Catalan surrealist group Logicofobista. In 1937 traveled to Paris with the French surrealist poet Benjamin Péret and in 1941, with the arrival of the Nazis at the French capital, she went into exile in Mexico. Never returned to Spain. Varo's work evokes a world emerged from her imagination where the scientific, the mystical, the esoteric and the magical are mixed.
