Cristina Mur

Fine Arts graduate at the University of the Basque Country. European Interactive Multimedia masters degree at the University of Balearic islands (Spain), at the London College of Printing (England) and in Microsoft - Ireland on a Spanish Ministry of Culture grant (1995).

This relationship with drawing continued to develop during study for her Masters. This period also coincided with the arrival of the internet in Spain, and her work as an early internet designer represented an important, vital professional experience. She relocated to Madrid in 1999, taking the role of Art Director in the internet departments of various multinational companies. This experience reaffirmed her ability to transfer a concept into a project, and equally an emotion onto paper. It would not be until 2006, in the creative workshops of Jaime Buhigas, when she discovered the theme of her present work. Inspired by the book The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, she reconnected with abstract drawing, translating stories and emotions onto paper.
