Biography
CURRICULUM – AMAYA F. FARIZA
Artist, graduated in Fine Arts from UPV (University of the Basque Country, Bilbao). Her work is framed in contemporary realism. Her creative process begins with photography and combines elements from reality —objects, figures, environments— with color as a central element. Form and background merge in a personal pictorial language, sometimes moving beyond pure realism into more evocative dimensions. Over 20 years of experience teaching Visual Arts.
