Was born in Pollença, Mallorca, in 1976 and creates special stories using photos, drawings and installations that complement each other with perfect coherence. A feeling or an idea become the starting point for a piece that establishes itself as a set of documents from a fiction created by the artist, that in their absolute artificiality expose contents that are very real and human. Photographs in which the artist herself, transformed by her appearance and actions, becomes her own avatar, a feminine character and an icon of human attitudes, that talks with the drawings in which Perelló embodies a more intimate look at the fiction she has created, like a personal diary. Common objects, often enlarged, complete the series of this fragmented narration that is the base of her work.
