Introducing our artists collective

Emma Plunkett, Marianna Magurudumian-O’Reilly, Maragda Cuscuela & Ana Fuster

We are an intersectional collective of four artist friends, who met through exhibiting in Barcelona and found deep admiration for each other’s work. Together, we create multidisciplinary exhibitions that reimagine space through a dynamic blend of visual and experiential art.

Our collaborative approach brings together painting, sculpture and fibre art, enriched by performance, installations, video projections and sonic experimentation. Whether responding to intimate venues or expansive galleries, we aim to transform environments into immersive experiences.

We are currently seeking opportunities to exhibit as a collective – bringing bold, layered narratives and diverse artistic voices into dialogue with contemporary spaces.

Meet the artists

Emma Plunkett – video, sculpture and painting

AKA VJ Miss Plunkett has been mixing playful, surreal and divinely absurd visuals live since the mid-1990s. Her intuitive, theatrical sets transform dance floors and galleries into living, breathing artworks. Unlike generic stock footage, her visuals are deeply personal – autobiographical moving images drawn from a rich archive of lived experience.

Emma studied fine art at East London University and is also an accomplished painter and sculptor. Since relocating to Barcelona in 2020, she has focused on stoneware ceramics, video art and painting. Her art emerges through a spontaneous creative process — she lets her hands take the lead, each step shaping the next. Emma is inspired by nature, the reality of everyday life and the female body in motion.

Art is her lifelong devotion – instinctive, evolving and ever-present. London-born and educated, Emma brings over five decades of creative exploration to her practice. Fiercely imaginative and technically skilled, she pours emotion, humour and insight into everything she makes.

Multidisciplinary artist Marianna Magurudumian-O’Reilly

Born in the USSR to Russian-Armenian artists, Marianna Magurudumian-O’Reilly grew up experimenting with drawing, painting and sculpture in her family’s studio. After outstanding achievements at art school, she studied interior design and architecture at Stiglitz Academy in St. Petersburg before relocating to the UK, where she refocused on painting. There she earned successive Winsor & Newton Young Artist Awards, the Wingate Scholarship, and completed a BA (Hons) First Class at the University of Brighton (1999) followed by a Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy Schools in London (2002).

Over fifteen years in London and sold-out painting shows, Marianna expanded into video, set design, writing, and digital media. She co-founded The Unstitute (www.theunstitute.org) – an artist-run digital laboratory inspired by Kafka’s surreal architecture – curating international exhibitions, screenings and performances. In 2017, amid Brexit, she and her family moved to Catalonia, Spain. She continues to exhibit widely, most recently with her multimedia solo show, Studio Grotesque, at Museu de l’Ebre, Tortosa, Spain. Marianna has continued to win awards for her painting and experimental digital portraiture, and hosts “Arts and Culture Hour with Marianna,” a bilingual radio show spotlighting Baix-Ebre and Barcelona’s creative scenes.

Employing Surrealist techniques – random mark-making, collage, and chance operations – Marianna’s work interrogates trauma, patriarchal power, and personal history. Laugh (2023) transforms the trauma of a survived assault into an embroidered, open-source tapestry of resistance, while her Cave Women fabric sculptures (2024) meditate on aging bodies as geological formations shaped by life. Across media, her intuitive approach invites viewers into hybrid architectural and psychological landscapes where every stain or crease holds a story waiting to unfold.

Maragda Cuscuela – visual artist

Maragda Cuscuela is an artist who explores the emotional depth, memory and rhythms of the natural world. She studied History of Art and Fine Arts at the UB of Barcelona.

She works mainly with mixed media on paper and builds her work through intuitive gestures, with subtle textures of working with inks, which she has incorporated from sumi painting and more gestural abstraction.

Guided by sensation rather than literal representation, her work is born from a deep listening to both the environment and the inner world, the mental world. Each painting is a visual meditation, an attempt to capture the ephemeral, the unsaid. Her colours, often linked to oxides, blue and earthy, root the viewer to a timeless essence.

Her creative process is open and experimental with ink, Cyanotype and water techniques. He lets the work evolve freely, with the intervention of chance, until a visual harmony emerges. He works on installations with large-format works, but he also creates artist books, in small formats, or works on painting live in front of the public with music and movement.

The result is a poetic and lively work, which invites you to stop, feel and connect.

She lives and works in Barcelona

Ana Fuster

Ana Fuster, trained in Fine Arts in Barcelona, combines her artistic practice with teaching drawing and colour at a secondary school. Her work revolves around the body as an archive of lived experiences and a channel for expressing emotions that are difficult to put into words. Deeply interested in the human figure and self-portraiture, she works mainly with large-format acrylic paintings, using a figurative language that blends with abstraction. Her images are never literal: she plays with mystery, symbolism, and ambiguity to suggest rather than reveal. The viewer is invited to interpret freely, to connect through their own emotional lens.

Fuster is drawn to processes of grief, loss, and solitude — and to how people move through these intense personal moments. Her work explores duality, contradictions, and emotional fragility from an intimate and deeply human perspective.
