About
• Plastic artist, naturally curious, observant, and lover of beauty. With these elements, she self-constructs and creates her work, which is constantly evolving.
• She draws inspiration and regenerates by the sea, where she currently resides, and in the mountains where she was born. She manufactures her own paints with natural pigments and combines them with ancestral techniques such as lime or gold leaf.
• Her love affair with lime began after a training trip to Morocco, where she learned the tadelakt technique from a maalem (master craftsman of this technique).
• Her work reflects experiences and territories lived, such as the “crochet collection” series, which is an ode to the labor of grandmothers and crochet.
• She receives specific commissions for particular spaces from interior design and architecture studios and individuals alike. She seeks to influence the emotions of the viewer with mural painting, paintings, and objects, which can also be acquired at the galleries where she exhibits.
• Murals created in hotels and private homes have been published in specialized magazines, mainstream press, and in the book “Neue Illusionsmalerei” (Callway 2000), which collects paintings from artists worldwide.
• In 2006, she collaborated with several paintings in the scenography of the theatrical work “Hiparxiologi” by Francesc Pujols, directed by Moixic and performed in Solsona, Barcelona (on the ship Naumon of La Fura dels Baus) and Martorell.
• Tate Garrigasait holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and a diploma in mural painting and trompe-l’œil from the Catalan Institute of New Professions.
• Tate Garrigasait’s works are found in private collections in Catalonia, Portugal, Germany, Italy, France, the United States, and Lebanon, as well as in the private collection of the Francesc Pujols Foundation.
• She is interested in the influence that materials and colors have on people’s health within their homes and plays with the dialogue between materials.
