Since the 1990s, Eva Quintas has pursued a photographic practice rooted in social and cultural issues with an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach.

Her production has included photographic exhibitions, web art works, video installations and artist publications. Through an exploration of different narrative forms, she probes the role of the imagination in the construction of identities, mythologies and cultural territories.

Quintas is interested in creation as a way of interpreting society and the issues raised by citizen-artists whose interventions modulate and disrupt the public space into which they are inserted. Questions of identity and belonging, history and memory, abandonment and transformation, are recurring themes in her work. Her projects are contextual, often developed during residencies, and inspired by social science methodologies; they are anchored in encounters and research around cultural and political territories, as she seeks the fragile balance between documentation and poetry, between aesthetics and critical engagement.

Of Catalan background, Eva Quintas lives and works in Montreal (Quebec, Canada). Her work has been presented in Canada and various countries in Europe and the Americas, Japan and West Africa, in exhibitions, events, and media art festivals and on digital platforms. Her recent projects have been developed through international residencies: Les Récollets, Paris (2015); Lumière d’encre, Céret (2024); El Bolit, Girona (2023). For the past years, she has combined her practice with cultural work related to policy, programming, mediation and research.  Co-founder  of the digital creation centre TOPO, she is also member of La Traversée – Atelier de géopétique and co-researcher of the Observatoire des médiations culturelles (OMEC).
