The Drawing of a Life<\/p><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I was born in Barcelona on a cold January day, and often it feels like the stars pull the strings of my Capricorn nature. Does perfection exist? I don’t know, but I keep searching for it, caught in this endless journey.<\/p>\n

For the past few years, I\u2019ve lived in \u00d2rrius, the most beautiful village in the world and the smallest in the Maresme. As the saying goes… “Good things come in small packages.”<\/p>\n

I have been a graphic designer since 1985, in love with beauty, lines, and forms. To me, every element, like in a puzzle, has its own unique place\u2014you just have to find it!<\/p>\n

I have been a graphic designer since 1985, deeply in love with beauty, lines, and shapes. To me, every element, like in a puzzle, has its own unique place\u2014you just have to find it!<\/p>\n

Each new project is a personal challenge for me\u2026 and perhaps a treat for you?<\/p>\n

In 1987, between professional projects, I dared to dream beyond, to draw and paint.<\/p>\n

I started at the Retaule workshop, where, with a brush or pencil in hand, time seemed to disappear.<\/p>\n

Thus, I experienced the contrast between the millimetric precision of design and the joyful dance of hand and brush across a canvas.<\/p>\n

However, my profession took over, and my fine arts project had to be put on hold sine die<\/em>\u2014but always with the firm promise of returning to it. And, as with all promises, that moment finally arrived.<\/p>\n

I have trained with great artists who have profoundly influenced me, such as the sculptor Al\u00edcia Alegre<\/a>,\u00a0who taught me that the impossible is just a word and that a blank canvas is merely a starting point.
\nI continued my artistic journey at Taller \u00cdtaca under the guidance of the painters Xavier Mart\u00ednez, the great Xanu<\/a>, who taught me that in art, the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves and always encouraged me to break boundaries, and N\u00faria Boix<\/a> whose delicate perfectionism helped me refine my vision and see things more clearly.<\/p>\n

I collaborate with various animal welfare associations.<\/p>\n

I have my own muse\u2014very furry and tireless.<\/p>\n

I admire Van Gogh and his misunderstood “madness,” Monet, C\u00e9zanne, Renoir, Lita Cabellut, Vermeer, Pissarro, Claudel, Andrew Wyeth, Paul Klee, Matisse, Modigliani, Kandinsky, Picasso, Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Gauguin, Turner, R. Casas, Schiele, Degas, Bonnard, Kisling, Mompou, Sisley, M. Gudiol, Labasque, Junyent, Lu\u00efsa Vidal, Olga Sacharoff, Klimt, J. Mir, F. Millet, Rusi\u00f1ol, Meifr\u00e9n, Anton Mauve, Nonell, Pascuti, Al\u00edcia Alegre, Xanu, N\u00faria Boix, M. Rosa Campmaj\u00f3, my fellow artists\u2026 and any form of artistic expression.<\/p>\n

I am also fascinated by everything that makes a blank canvas come to life.<\/p>\n

Because, in the end\u2026 EVERYTHING IS ART<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Biographical Summary of Cristina Freixas<\/p>\n

Cristina Freixas is an artist born in Barcelona in 1960, whose deep passion for art emerged at a very young age. She began her professional training as a graphic designer in 1985, cultivating a profound love for beauty, shapes, and lines, which have become defining elements in her artistic style. Although graphic design marked her introduction to the creative world, Cristina soon realized that her true calling lay in painting and drawing.<\/p>\n

In 1987, while working on various professional projects, she took the leap to pursue her dream of painting, a long-held desire. Her artistic journey began at the Retaule studio, where she explored different painting techniques, and continued at the \u00cdtaca studio, under the guidance of prominent artists such as Xavier Mart\u00ednez, also known as Xanu, and N\u00faria Boix, whose influence left a lasting impact on her artistic development.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Cristina developed a strong connection to nature and animals, which became a significant source of inspiration in her work. She captures the essence of animals with great sensitivity, portraying their personalities, emotions, and strength. Her paintings evoke powerful feelings and moments, blending realism with raw emotion.<\/p>\n

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Cristina actively collaborates with animal rights organizations, a cause she deeply cares about, which is reflected in her art. Her most beloved muse is a furry, tireless companion who accompanies her through both life and the creative process.<\/p>\n

Cristina’s style draws inspiration from the great masters of art, including Van Gogh, Monet, C\u00e9zanne, Renoir, Picasso, and others. Her artistic experiences in various studios with contemporary artists have significantly shaped her approach. Always seeking perfection, Cristina has experimented with various materials, particularly oil and pastel, which allow her to express depth and emotion in her work.<\/p>\n

Cristina Freixas continues to create art that is rich in passion and dedication, where her connection with nature, animals, and human emotions converge in unique, profound works.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3678","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nc.freixas -
