Perfil del artista

Entre 2001-2002 realiza estudios de cine en el European Film College, Ebeltoft, Dinamarca y, de 2003 a 2008, asiste a clases con el profesor Matthias Müller y Marcel Odenbach en la Academia de Arte y Medios de Colonia, Alemania. La artista ha contado con una estancia temporal en el estudio #6 de los espacios de producción artística del Centro de Arte La Regenta, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

El desarrollo de su carrera artística tiene lugar en tierras alemanas, pasando por Colonia y Berlín, donde vive y trabaja desde 1995. Es precisamente en la capital berlinesa donde ha mostrado gran parte de su obra en diversas instituciones y galerías y donde próximamente tendrá una muestra individual de su obra en vídeo en el museo Berlinische Galerie. Ha recibido becas tan prestigiosas como la Karl Schmidt-Rottluff o la Villa Massimo en Roma.

Con representación en Londres, Berlín y Bruselas, ha expuesto internacionalmente tanto de forma individual como colectiva. Entre sus exposiciones más destacadas se encuentran las muestras individuales como Partial Nudity en la Kunsthalle Budapest o Awkward Studies and A Decent Take on Serious Matters en la galería londinense Rokeby. Sus obras han sido además exhibidas en espacios como el Centre Pompidou en París, el Museo Ludwig en Colonia; así como mas recientemente en la III Bienal de Arte Contemporáneo Joven en Moscú, la segunda Bienal de Mardin, el museo Marta Herford, el Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, el Domus Artium en Salamanca o el Castrum Peregrini en Amsterdam. La obra de Cortiñas además de formar parte de numerosas colecciones privadas internacionales, forma también parte de la colecciones públicas alemanas del Museum Kunstpalast en Düsseldorf y del Aachen-Kornelimünster en Renania del Norte-Westfalia.
