Paloma Hinojosa wins 2023 Mayte Spínola Gold Medal

On March 2, 2024, Paloma Hinojosa was one of the recipients of the prestigious 2023 Mayte Spínola Gold Medals for her contributions to painting awarded by the jury for the Pro Arte y Cultura group at the Spanish Theater of Marmolejo, Spain.  In attendance was the major of Marmolejo, Manuel Lozano, Director of the Women’s Institute of Junta de Andalucia, Rosario Alarcón, councilors of the municipality, and member of the jury for Pro Arte y Cultura as well as numerous guests from Spain, Austria, and Italy.

“Since its inception in 1990, the Pro Arte y Cultura Group, founded by Mayte Spínola, has been instrumental in organizing exhibitions and advocating for the arts across various European cities. Spínola’s dedication has significantly contributed to the flourishing of cultural expression, earning her a prestigious spot in the Forbes Art list, alongside other luminaries such as Alicia Koplowitz and Baroness Thyssen.”  The Pro Arte y Cultura group aims to enrich the community and provide opportunities within the arts including those working in literature, music, painting, film, photography, education, architecture, and fashion among others. 

In 2015, Paloma was honored with an amazing exhibition of her works, “Celebrar la Vida,” at the Centro Cultural de Vacas in Madrid, Spain.  She is now working on another retrospective exhibition that will be hosted in Madrid in 2024-2025.
