Around 1984 she began her career as an artist, receiving several awards and grants that first took her to Paris and later to Italy after being awarded the Scholarship of the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. In 1991 she began a long international journey with exhibitions in various galleries across Europe and America and a regular presence at successive editions of Art Basel, ARCOmadrid and Art Cologne. More recently she has participated in public art projects such as the series entitled “Atmospheres”, in which she creates real clouds around architectural monuments. The first of these interventions took place in Madrid in 2007, when she wrapped the Puerta de Alcalá in a cloud. This artistic intervention had a strong media impact and since then she has received numerous invitations to create “Atmospheres” in Paris, Brussels, Córdoba, etc. Her most recent work is “The Universal Flag of Peace”, installed in front of the Peace Palace in The Hague. Other installations include those created with linear light in emblematic spaces of early 20th-century modern architecture. For Darya von Berner, the practice of art is a means for producing critical meaning, always in dialogue with the surrounding world. Work in the collection: Untitled, 1997. https://daryavonberner.net/
