BRILLIANT WOMEN 

Brilliant Women is a collection of generative digital portraits of women who, either because of their story, their skills or their way of doing, have contributed or are contributing value to society. The works do not aim to meticulously study their physiognomy, but rather to transmit their magic and beauty through eternal light particles in movement. The collection showcases designers, scientists, researchers, artists or any anonymous woman whose story is able to grow and motivate others.Stories that deserve to be known by the whole world. 

Bertha von Suttner

First woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She was born in Prague on 9 June 1843 and grew up in an aristocratic environment with strong military roots. In her youth, reading A Memory of Solferino by Henri Dunant – a witness to that battle, founder of the Red Cross and the first Nobel Peace Prize winner – encouraged her future pacifist commitment.

Coco Chanel

Adeline Virginia Stephen, better known as Virginia Woolf, is a self-taught British writer and one of the most prominent figures of 20th century modern Anglo-Saxon avant-gardism. Her narrative technique of interior monologue and her poetic style stand out as the most important contributions to the modern novel.

Marie Curie

Polish physicist and chemist who became a naturalised French citizen. A pioneer in the field of radioactivity, she was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry, the first woman to hold a professorship at the University of Paris and the first to be buried with honours in the Pantheon in Paris on her own merits in 1995.

Florence Nightingale

British nurse, writer and statistician, considered a forerunner of contemporary professional nursing and creator of the first conceptual model of nursing. She excelled in mathematics from an early age, completing her studies and applying her knowledge of statistics to epidemiology and health statistics. She was the first woman to be admitted to the British Royal Statistical Society, and an honorary member of the American Statistical Association.

Charlote Cooper

Charlotte Reinagle Cooper, better known as Charlotte Cooper, was the first woman to win an Olympic medal at the 1900 Paris Olympics. The English tennis player paved the way for women’s tennis, winning -among other achievements- winning five Wimbledon championship titles.

Valentina Tereshkova

Russian cosmonaut, engineer and politician. She was the first woman to go into space, selected from more than 400 applicants and five finalists to pilot the Vostok 6, launched on 16 June 1963. She completed 48 orbits around the Earth in her three days in outer space. She remains the only woman to make a solo space mission.

Kathrine Switzer

Not so long ago, in 1967, it was considered that only men could run marathons. Kathy Switzer rebelled against this when she entered the Boston Marathon that year under the name KV Switzer. During the race, the organisers tried to stop her, but other runners escorted her to the finish line. In 1975 she came second in the same race, and won the New York Marathon in 1974.

Virginia Woolf

Adeline Virginia Stephen, better known as Virginia Woolf, is a self-taught British writer and one of the most prominent figures of 20th century modern Anglo-Saxon avant-gardism. Her narrative technique of interior monologue and her poetic style stand out as the most important contributions to the modern novel.
