Eva Yárnoz

Eva Yárnoz (born 1975) is a Spanish writer and visual artist; she won the Flor de Jara de Poetry Award 2016 for her poetry work Filiación and was finalist of the César Simón Poetry Award 2015 for her work Cauces del que teje.

Early life and education Yárnoz was born in Pamplona (Navarra), where she lived until she was 20 years old. She moved to Madrid to study Spanish literature at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Before that, she studied a foundation year Diploma in English at the University of Portsmouth. Recently, she has studied a Master Degree at the Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR).

Career Later she worked as a translator.

In 2015, she published Universalia ante rem, her first book, a set of long poems that sought to explore one's own consciousness with a very recognizable poetic voice. In the words of Rafael Morales, professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, "it is proposed (...) from the freedom of a saying out of its promotion. A first book attentive to the self and emptiness, from a certain way of making one's own consciousness prevail and of looking at Spanish poetry from a non-realistic perspective, in her case."

In 2016, she received the Flor de Jara Poetry Prize for her book Filiación, which was published in 2017. In the words of the poet Juan Carlos Mestre, president of the jury, the book "fulfills the function of being an act against all the humiliations of the language of normalization and power."

In 2019, Yárnoz published her third collection of poems Cauces del que teje. This book had previously been a finalist for the César Simón Poetry Prize in 2015 . About this collection of poems, the critic Carlos Alcorta says: "The poetry of Eva Yarnoz (Pamplona, 1975) does not seek to clarify the mechanisms of reality from an anecdotal fact because "reality is a space that is deformed" and the anecdote tends to seek in the discursive its immobility, its permanence, the opposite of what our poet seeks.

In 2023, she published a poetic anthology Cierva como mi muerte. It is a handmade limited edition with reproductions of plastic works by Yarnoz.

In 2025, she published Camino de sedición, a work that, according to the author's website, is "A title that engages with the Camino by Baroja and Teresa of Ávila. We find a more intelligible and reflective language than in previous texts. Thematically, it explores power relations and the dreamlike quality of life."

Visual arts Yárnoz's visual work is abstract, sometimes symbolic, sometimes full of plastic accidents, with a broad, fast and emotional stroke.

Yárnoz exhibited during the spring of 2021 at the Cepi de Arganzuela of the Community of Madrid. The exhibition, entitled Cardinal, Designs from a universal repository, was mainly nourished by very fluid production based on acrylics, pastels and graphite. The exhibited work was structured in two series: Designs. Variations.
