Despite her ties to a diverse group of Spanish artists affiliated with the aesthetic premises of geometric abstraction — with whom she has maintained an affinity throughout her life — Sevilla would soon move away from the use of computers as a visual tool. From 1980 to 1982 she spent time in Boston, a key juncture in the development of her career and the place where she would realise, along with other projects, the series Keiko, Stella and Belmont, made up of drawings of single, thin and faint lines that extolled the feeling of vibration that would subsequently be a strong characteristic of her later paintings. Upon her return, lines, weaves and light channelled emotion, leading her to work on two decisive landmarks in Spanish culture, Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas and the Al-Andalus architecture of the Alhambra in Granada, the city where she lives today.
