DESCRIPTION
In War and Peace, Nerea Caos maps an emotional battlefield through expressive abstraction. The composition is split into two chromatic zones that evoke opposing forces: a warm section dominated by dripping yellows, reminiscent of sunlight or a distant memory, and a turbulent area of magenta and black, suggesting desire, rage, or inner turmoil.
A flesh-toned contour traces the outline of two confronting profiles—or perhaps a single divided figure—symbolizing an internal fracture. Two eyes emerge from the painterly chaos, one surrounded by yellow blooms, the other submerged in swirling magenta, acting as silent witnesses to an unresolved conflict. Sketch-like graphite figures at the lower left hint at childhood, memory, or symbolic archetypes.
The painting strikes a precarious balance between gesture and control, between abstraction and figuration. Rather than seeking resolution, it embraces contradiction: war and peace coexist within the same psychic space.
The intensity of color and gestural freedom recall Jean-Michel Basquiat and Cy Twombly, while the work’s intimate, symbolic dimension aligns with artists such as Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, and Tracey Emin—particularly in their shared ability to transform emotional vulnerability and memory into visual language.
ABOUT THE ARTIST – NEREA CAOS
Nerea Caos (born Nerea Sánchez Castro, Ferrol, 1993) is a Spanish visual artist and psychoanalyst. She showed an early interest in painting and performance and moved to Barcelona at 21 to study Psychoanalysis, a discipline she practices professionally and integrates deeply into her artistic work.
Her chosen name "Caos" (Spanish for “chaos”) is both an acronym of her surnames and a conceptual stance. Her artwork fuses the conscious and unconscious through mixed media: acrylics, oil, oil sticks, and collage. Her style is raw and emotionally charged, exploring themes such as femininity, childhood, vulnerability, and the symbolic body.
Currently based in Sitges, she finds inspiration in the Mediterranean light and multicultural atmosphere. Her work has been exhibited and sold through international platforms such as 1stDibs and ArtMajeur. Notable works include Season Fruits, The Vagina That Sees Everything, and The Woman Who Smiles Without Reason.

Nerea Sánchez Castro, born in Ferrol, Galicia in 1993, an art student since high school, with constant private training in Art and Performance, studies Early Childhood Education and heads to Barcelona at the age of 21, where she studies Psychoanalysis at the School of Psychoanalysis of Barcelona, a subject that always caught his attention and that he will later make of it his profession. He lives in Sitges, a place that inspires him when it comes to creating, thanks to the landscapes rich in colors, shapes, nature, as well as a unique light that the Mediterranean gives off, not without forgetting the cosmopolitan social environment, with a lot of fashion and art present. completely innovative in the place. Nerea continues with her training in Gestalt Theater Therapy where she is currently participating in Barcelona.
His continuous passion for the unconscious and art has led him to merge the two disciplines into one and create works framed in the artistic current of abstract expressionism, which allows him to experiment with his conscious emotions and his unconscious sensations.
He likes to compose from the dissociated forms of the human body and the mixture of textures and colors that play with contrast. “I live by creating and representing characters that facilitate the staging of everyday life. I work with people, with whom I develop my maximum potential, we find together the originality of each one, the reason to give light and self-awareness, while new works emerge in my moments of solitude, which my unconscious has saved to come out at unexpected moments. … I represent works that connect me with childhood and at the same time with the present, and that without a doubt, my personality finds its voice through there; Psychoanalysis, painting and performance complete me, I give the world my best part”. Her signature is CAOS, by Sánchez-Castro, Nerea CAOS, since as she herself says “The best ideas emerge from CHAOS, but only when you manage to get the apex of exquisiteness out of it, it is good to make mistakes, try and experiment, only then will different and original things emerge”.
