Painting Burbujas by Villanueva Puigdelliura Natalia | Painting Figurative

During her childhood Natalia spent time with two of her neighbours, a ceramist and a painter, and who led her to discover art. She too felt the desire to create with her hands as well as her brush. She grew up on the Catalan coast and deeply absorbed the marine atmosphere. Fascinated by this landscape, she went in search of the seaside in other countries (Morocco, Senegal, Italy, Spain). In contact with the fishing ports, sailors and solitary lighthouses, she found strength and inspiration for her painting. At the same time she was passionate about the marine works of the artist Juan Abello, who she met. Unsurprisingly, she chose to train as a ceramist at the Barcelona School of Industry. She completed her studies with courses in drawing, painting and printmaking. From this dual experience, she has preserved the taste of contact with the materials as well as the pleasures of drawing.
