Nerea Azanza is an emerging Spanish visual artist based in Paris. Due to her scientific background and experience in cultural heritage restoration, she is passionate about experimenting with diverse materials, investigating spatial patterns, and developing visual mutations and cloning.

She holds a Ph.D. in fine arts and an MFA in conservation-restoration of cultural heritage from the Fine Arts Faculty of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM, Spain), where she studied with artist Antonio López García and worked as an art teacher. She has been a preventive conservator-restorer specializing in wax anatomical models at the Javier Puerta Museum (Faculty of Medicine of the UCM) and The Museum of Human Evolution (Burgos, Spain) in collaboration with Professor J. L. Arsuaga.

Back to making art in 2018, she stands as a finalist in the Clavecin en France art contest 2022, with Fabienne Verdier as jury president and a semi-finalist in the COCA PROJECT 2020. She has been part of group exhibitions in Europe and the USA. Her first solo show took place in Paris in 2021 with Galerie Estrella. She exhibited for the first time in a museum, the UNTERLINDEN (Colmar, France), in 2022 due to the Clavecin en France contest. In 2024, some of her works were selected for the Lunar Codex with 33 Contemporary Gallery. They will be launched to the moon in the Codex Polaris mission, part of NASA's Artemis Program, in September 2025.
