Description
Die spanische Redewendung coger al toro por los cuernos bedeutet, ein Problem mutig und entschlossen anzugehen. Erstaunlich ist, dass es im Deutschen denselben Ausdruck gibt: den Stier bei den Hörnern packen. Diese sprachliche Synchronisation ist faszinierend - sie zeigt, wie beide Kulturen Mut, Stärke und Handlungskraft mit demselben kraftvollen Bild verbinden. Beide Sprachen erinnern uns daran: Nur wer den Mut hat, sich der Herausforderung zu stellen, kann sie verwandeln.

Meine Herausforderung bei dieser Zeichnung war es, die Grisaille auf Papier mit wasserlosen Stiften anzuwenden - ein Prozess, der Geduld, Kontrolle und zugleich den Mut zum Experiment erfordert.

Livia Organista Sandino

I am interested in studying the classics and creating imaginative and colourful narratives from a timeless perspective. I explore the dynamics of light, space and the movement of human and animal figures. Through my painting – full of symbolism and a dreamlike quality – I aim to create a concept that I refer to as the emergence of modern myths.


I am in my final year of the Fine Art degree programme at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid and have completed an Erasmus placement at the Essen Academy of Fine Arts (HBK). There, I exhibited my work at Millia’s Coffee, the Neuer Kunstverein Wuppertal, Galerie Obrist and the Philharmonie Essen. In Spain, I took part in group exhibitions in Valdemoro, Torrejón de Ardóz and Gijón. I would like to continue my studies in Germany.


I have illustrated stories for the magazine *Revista de Valdemoro* and am also a member of the Research Group for Visual Studies and Digital Museography at the URJC’s INTERVISUALAB laboratory, where I focus on the grisaille technique and 15th-century Flemish painting (particularly Jan van Eyck) as well as illustrated books of hours.


In my spare time, I attend the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where I draw from life and am learning a great deal. Portraiture has become one of my main interests, and I aim to specialise in this field.
