During the month of April, the students of the Specialisation Diploma in Creative Strategies in Illustration and Visual Communication, coordinated by Pepe Serra, presented their final projects. Lorena Rosado, Ekaterina Martín, Fernanda Peixoto and Héctor Fernández are some of the students who have stood out for tackling relevant and emotionally charged themes in their work. Fernanda Peixoto – Barcelona through my eyes One of the projects was that of Fernanda Peixoto, who presented a travelogue entitled “Barcelona through my eyes”. Through painting and hand embroidery, she has recalled her experiences in the city since her arrival in 2021. She also combined her memories of travelling to the city when she was seven years old. She has divided the notebook into three categories: The city, the food and the art.
