The Museum of Contemporary Art of Elche (MACE) has expanded its municipal collection with twelve works by artist Cristina Navarro, recently formalized in an event attended by the Councilor for Culture, Irene Ruiz.

The donated pieces span different periods of Navarro's career, contributing to the enrichment of Elche's contemporary artistic heritage.
During the event, the catalog for the exhibition Evolution and Synthesis: 1989-2026 was also presented, a retrospective of the artist that has been on display at MACE since last May. The publication is available for collection at the museum's premises.

"It is a source of pride that Cristina Navarro has wanted part of her work to become part of Elche's municipal collection, enriching our heritage with pieces from an artist of recognized prestige and with an absolutely genuine creative universe."

Irene Ruiz · Councilor for Culture of Elche
Councilor Ruiz emphasized that Navarro's work can be admired at MACE until September 27, noting the positive reception of the exhibition.
For her part, Cristina Navarro expressed her gratitude to the City Council and the museum for hosting her creations, highlighting her connection with Elche, where she previously designed the poster for the Misteri d’Elx in 2024. The current exhibition reviews over four decades of her artistic career, characterized by a symbolic and humanist language, featuring paintings and compositions that combine geometric elements with gold and silver leaf.
