A graduate in painting and mural processes at the Escuela Massana of Barcelona, she also trained in mural painting, specialising in al fresco work at the international school of contemporary mural painting of the Diputación Provincial de Barcelona.

 

She was also a participant in the plastic arts experimental workshop known as the "Aula Oberta", a nursery of ideas and artists who are just starting out, set up by some of the most advanced teachers from the Escuela Massana. A multitude of actions concerning the plastic arts came about as a result of this workshop. This work was done as a "break" from the educational space and time at the school and the participants were completely free to choose their materials and work concepts. A group example of the work arising from this workshop can be seen at "La Capella", where there is a volumetric piece suspended occupying 200 x 200, made in different materials such as wood trunks and cut wood, glass, etc., totally sculptural in concept.

 

She has followed specific courses on photography and laboratory work at the Spectrum -Canon and the Centro de la Imagen in Barcelona, as well as teaching drawing and painting and working as a specialist in the field of plastic expression for private schools.

 

She received a special grant from the Belles Arts section of the Ministry of Culture for the project "The Object", based on the study and execution of a series of pieces in which volume is involved but with a more poetical than purely pictorial treatment. A number of pieces resulted from this project, of which a small series of four are kept as part of the artistic collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid.

She has also provided drawings and illustrations for publications such as the magazine Lateral, national newspapers such as La Vanguardia, El País and El Observador and the magazine Woman, as well as photographic illustrations and design. She has also worked as a painter-artist for the publishers Parramón, for many years also collaborating as an illustrator on several of the firm's collections.

 

She has also designed and created various shop window displays for different companies and occasionally designs and creates fashion stands for trade fairs such as the Salón Gaudí fashion show.

 

She has also worked in the world of advertising and cinema, creating atmospheres, working for various production houses and designing costumes for a film by Ricart Reguant. She has also worked with the props for the Liceo opera house from time to time.

 

She is part of a group of artists created around the e designer Javier Mariscal and the architect Alfredo Arribas, established to produce different sculptures for the project created by these two people for the theme park Ten Bosh in Japan. The "Acuarinto" project is made up of various sections and stages, but her collaboration is specifically concerned with making various sculptural pieces in polycarbonate polyester resin and other materials.

 

At the same time as pursuing her artistic qualification at the Escuela Massana, she also worked as a textile and print designer for a leading Italian firm. Having learned the techniques involved and realising the response her drawings were getting outside Barcelona (and especially outside Spain), she decided to take the risk and go independent, creating her own textile design studio under the name of "Estudio Tiza".

 

Currently, her artistic activity is more centred on the creation of more personal work and pieces destined for her exhibitions.

 

Several of her pieces are in held in private collections.
