INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS
SCENOGRAPHY WITH STAMPS for a library specialized in Scenic Arts
By using an ad hoc designed and produced set of stamps to interact with a given illustration, library users will be able to create a scene. This interactive graphic turns the library’s user cards into a personal and memorable object.

BONJOUR L’IMPOSSIBLE
Graphics are a vehicle for communication, like the letters that form words that are transformed into speech. Manual printing techniques allow for instantaneous writing. As a fan of old printing inventions and modern tools and materials, I have developed my own way of making stamps. I always treat the stamp as a pen, as a way of writing with a deliberate language.
La gráfica es un vehículo de comunicación, como las letras que forman palabras que se transforman en voz. La técnica de estampación permite una escritura inmediata. Como aficionada a los inventos antiguos de imprenta y a las herramientas y materiales actuales, he desarrollado mi propia técnica para producir sellos. Los trato como si fuesen una pluma para escribir.

BONJOUR L’IMPOSSIBLE
GRÁFICA & DANZA
Este taller creativo fomenta la imaginación y la expresión corporal fuera de lo habitual. A partir de un juego de sellos, se crean seres imaginarios que acaban conformando una partitura coreográfica. A partir de ello se creará una performance de danza contemporánea. Así se hará realidad L’Impossible. El taller está inspirado en la obra Corps seul de Christine Cloux y va dirigido a teatros, museos e instituciones educativas.

GRAPHICS & DANCE
This creative workshop encourages imagination and corporal expression outside of the usual. From a game of stamps, imaginary beings are created that end up forming a choreographic score. From this, a contemporary dance performance will be created. This is how L’Impossible will become a reality. The workshop is inspired by the work Corps seul by Christine Cloux and is aimed at theatres, museums and educational institutions.

GRAPHICS x CULTURE
The Valencian Performing Arts Awards annually celebrate the best creations of the Valencian Community. The awards gala is a much-anticipated event. It brings together artists and promoters of the Performing Arts and is a loudspeaker for cultural production professionals.
The awards are organised by the Valencian Institute of Culture. They are held alternately in the three provinces of the region. Its gala enjoys great visibility in the urban landscape: it dresses the façade of the Teatro Principal in the provincial capitals of Valencia, Alicante and Castellón, the nominees are received on the red carpet spread outside the theatre and there is a wide repercussion in the social networks.
The graphic design encompasses both the identification of the venues and the gala itself.
In the editions held from 2019 to 2023, a graphic image has been consolidated, the hallmark of which is the statuette by the Valencian sculptor Manuel Boix.

Poster 2023 received the SILVER GRAPHIS POSTER AWARD 2025
I wanted to continue the tradition of typographic posters established in the previous years for this institutional event. With a wink at the «P» for «Public» (Audience), which climbs the steps to the stage just like the award winners, the mask symbolises the importance of their role in creating the stage, thus visualising the central idea of the gala’s script.
LANDSCAPE & URBAN DESIGN
For almost ten years I have been a partner and creative director at a Spanish multidisciplinary firm specialising in civil engineering, architecture, landscape and urban design. My challenging role as Creative Director was to lead the creative process to produce innovative design solutions in these fields. We developed projects in Spain, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and other countries. I enjoyed this work because of the range of scale – from furniture design to large scale projects, and my experience in different design fields enables me to develop creative projects of great variety and need.
NEW SEAFRONT BOULEVARD BATUMI, GEORGIA
One of my favourite urban and landscape design projects developed under my direction was the New Seafront Boulevard, Batumi, Georgia. This project was the beginning of a long and successful collaboration with the Government of Georgia. The city expected the creation of a modern space that would act as a development engine for international tourism on the Black Sea coast. The new seafront boulevard has attracted international hotel chains, concerts, art festivals and events. It has become a really active place. The project was awarded the International Architecture Award 2012 by The Chicago Athenaeum – The European Centre for Architecture.
MICROEXHIBITIONS
Exhibitions curated by Juliane Petri that show works and processes under the light of the search to transcend the design commission and the commonly pre-established.The Microexhibitions format emerged in the studio-workshop space located in the historic centre of Valencia. The window with pieces of work in progress proved to be a generator of interaction with passers-by, a curiosity shared by children and adults. Thus the studio window became a container for the communication of thoughts and concepts.y show works and processes in the light of the quest to transcend the design commission and the commonly pre-established.The Microexhibitions format emerged in the studio-workshop space located in the historic centre of Valencia.

BOOK OF BOOKS Designing for me means creating languages so that objects speak for themselves. I have always been fascinated by print. And I was lucky, I was born in Leipzig, which is a particularly bookish city. Making books is a very serious thing. A book places the content in an order and a structure, and also its materiality suggests another kind of emotion. This exhibition brings together various objects related to the creation of books and in this case, artist books.
