Nuria Quevedo Teixidó (Barcelona, 1938 – Berlin, 2025) was a Spanish painter and graphic artist who lived in Berlin from the age of fifteen. A member of the Communist Party of Spain, she became a well-known figure in the art of East Germany, where she exhibited alongside Equipo Crónica.
Her father, José Quevedo Fernández, had been an aviator in the Spanish Republican Air Force and later worked for the Nazis in Berlin. After the war, she and her mother returned to Barcelona, and in 1952 they joined him in East Berlin, where they settled permanently. There she studied at the Higher School of Visual and Applied Arts in Weissensee and later became a student at the German Academy of Arts.
Her work uses the human figure to build a personal visual language that invites reflection. Don Quixote recurs as a motif, and her early works reflect the melancholy of exiles' sense of uprooting. In 2012 she co-wrote, with Mercedes Álvarez, the book Ilejanía. La cercanía de lo olvidado.
