Artist Statement/Bio: Nuria Rabanillo-de la Fuente 1966
Born in Zamora, Spain.She found this vocation very early in her life. She studied art at school in both Madrid and Milan.
I am a young designer from Belgium. The catastrophe of September 11 made me much trouble, that is why I am very attached to join the community. Draw in response to this tragedy is my way of giving homage to the victims.
I am drawn to Mexican and Guatemalan cultural objects—masks, carved wooden animals, papier mâché figures, and toys—for reasons similar to those of Man Ray and the modernists, who in their case were drawn to African art.
