Transforming space with art: the trajectory of Georgina France
Georgina Franquesa Claramunt, acclaimed 51 -year -old artist, has made Igualada a vibrant canvas through its murals. With a style reminiscent of comics, this creator has spent more than two decades beautifying the city, fusing his passion to his commitment to artistic training and the defense of female presence in the world of graffiti.
A start marked by adrenaline
His fascination with art was born at school, where sketches became a way to escape the routine. Her life changed radically when she met Chema, her partner, who introduced her into the world of graffiti. The phrase that marked his way, “I am not going to discotheques, I will paint,” inspired her to explore a new form of expression that completely caught her.
Art as a claim
The murals he creates are not only decorative; They are a manifestation of their identity and a way of vindication. Georgina emphasizes that occupying a space with art is an act of rebellion. At first, his work went unnoticed, but now, with more visible murals, his contribution has been recognized and appreciated.
Overcoming obstacles in a male world
His trajectory has not been easy. In the beginning, they offered isolated spaces for painting, but did not surrender. He founded an association for gaining respect and obtaining walls in strategic places. Now, his talent is recognized with commissions of shops and individuals, a reflection of the change in the perception of urban art.
A changing panorama for women in graffiti
More than two decades ago, the female presence in graffiti was almost non -existent. Georgina recalls festivals where there were only a few women among a sea of male painters. However, over time, it has observed a significant increase in women who dare to express themselves through this art, a change that enthusiastically celebrates.
Education as a foundation of change
Graffiti has evolved from being considered a vandalism to be accepted as part of art education. When Georgina gives workshops to children, he observes his emotion and creativity, but also a gradual loss of innocence as they grow. Through his work, he tries to convey that graffiti is a form of art rich in culture and history.
Keeping the creative flame alive
With the gaze on the future, Georgina expects a generational relief in the world of graffiti. She and Chema are aware that over time, they need new voices to join this form of artistic expression. Their determination and passion are evident; Creativity is constantly guide, either creating murals, designing jewelry or contributing to theater projects.
Collective actions that make the difference
One of Georgina’s most important projects is the mural action of 8M, which seeks to make visible female voices in urban art. This initiative has brought together artists from Igualada, each with their perspective, to generate a debate and leave a legacy that reinforces the role of women in art and society.
A hopeful future
Georgina is convinced that actions like this can change the way graffiti and female participation are perceived in this area. Painting a mural collectively is not only an artistic act; It is a statement of presence and resistance to traditional norms. His passion for urban art is a source of inspiration, and if his work encourages more women to explore this discipline, their efforts will have been worth it.
