    Throughout most of her novels, Virginia Woolf enquired into the nature of art produced by women. She sought to articulate a discourse about female aesthetics. The aim of this paper is to look into the portrayal of the female artist in Virginia Woolf's novels in contrast with the male artistes, and justify why these portraits often appear to the reader as almost devoid of gender labels. In order to study this question, closer attention is paid to the main female and male artist characters in Virginia Woolf's novels 'To the Lighthouse' (1927) and 'The Voyage Out' (1915)A trav茅s de la majoria de les seves novel路les, la Virginia Woolf investiga sobre la naturalesa del art creat per les dones.
