Carmen Giraldez was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1976. Carmen acquired her interest in art, and especially painting, from her father who is an avid collector and also a painter. Her early childhood training was “at his knees” as she likes to say. Since her childhood she has studied painting techniques and the arts through her father who had also painted from a very young age. In 1996 she began to study at Llotja from Barcelona A.A.O.A. (Arts and Crafts School) specializing in sculpture.
