Biography

Natalia Reparaz was born in Madrid, Spain. She took 2 semesters of Sculpture at New World School of the Arts in Miami this year.

Natalia Reparaz became part of the so-called "movida madrileña" thanks to an underground comic tetralogy she drew about some homosexual friends.
She started learning with hyperrealist painter Gabriel Pedrero and later on at the Artaquio bottega.
After a pass at opera singing, she studied Advertising in Spain and in 1983-1984 Graphic and Advertising Design at Parsons, NY.
She started working as an Art Director for Grey Advertising both in N.Y. and, later on, in Madrid.
In 1997 she moved with her family to Miami, where she had an intense exposure to Latin-American and Contemporary Art.
On June 2000 she produced a solo show composed entirely of her friends' portraits, starting her career as a visual artist.

"If I had to define what a work of art is, I would say it is that creature born from the marriage of an idea and a shape. I would say it is talent and skilled craftsmanship wrung together to express something in an interesting manner. The eye of the artist has that magic quality that can turn the most plain object into something worthy of contemplation."
