Her career, marked by a constant creative restlessness, led her to <strong data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"996\">collaborate with international brands, cultural institutions and urban projects<\/strong> that today remain as a legacy of her talent and sensitivity. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1100\"><strong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1100\">From advertising to free art<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1399\">Amaia Arrazola <strong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1201\">studied Advertising and Public Relations at the Complutense University of Madrid<\/strong>, a training that led her to work initially as an <strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1306\">art director in the advertising sector<\/strong>. However, her true vocation has always been linked to drawing and visual narrative. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/en\/what-to-do\/the-festa-de-tardor-returns-to-the-museu-can-ros-with-a-novelty-that-highlights-the-value-of-ibizan-craftsmanship\/?swcfpc=1\">The Festa de Tardor returns to the Museu Can Ros with a novelty that highlights the value of Ibizan craftsmanship.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1795\">In <strong data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1412\">2010<\/strong>, she decided to turn her career around and moved to <strong data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1476\">Barcelona<\/strong>, where she began her career as a <strong data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1534\">freelance illustrator<\/strong>. Since then, her work has expanded into multiple fields: <strong data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1640\">she has collaborated with brands such as Nike and Uniqlo<\/strong>, and has also carried out projects for institutions such as <strong data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1755\">the University of Barcelona, the City Council of Barcelona<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1792\">the Provincial Council of Vizcaya<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"2028\">His style, recognizable by its colorful, friendly stroke and poetic look, allowed him to <strong data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1953\">break barriers between commercial illustration and urban art<\/strong>, consolidating himself as one of the most versatile figures of his generation.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2091\"><strong data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2091\">Wabi Sabi&#8217;: the turning point in his career<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2255\">The big leap in his career came in <strong data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2142\">2018<\/strong>, with the publication of <em data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2177\">Wabi Sabi<\/em> (Lunwerg Editores), a work that marked a before and after in his career.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2257\" data-end=\"2626\">The book was born after an <strong data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2335\">artistic scholarship in Paradise Air, in Matsudo (Japan)<\/strong>, where the artist lived an experience that changed her way of understanding art and life. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy that celebrates imperfection and ephemeral beauty, Arrazola captured in its pages an intimate reflection on <strong data-start=\"2570\" data-end=\"2623\">the passage of time, fragility and acceptance<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/sociedad\/muere-rafael-de-paula-el-genio-imprevisible-del-toreo-que-convirtio-el-miedo-en-arte\/?swcfpc=1\">Rafael de Paula, the unpredictable bullfighting genius who turned fear into art, dies<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2830\">The success of <em data-start=\"2640\" data-end=\"2651\">Wabi Sabi<\/em> consolidated her as a <strong data-start=\"2674\" data-end=\"2728\">singular voice within the Spanish illustrated panorama<\/strong>, and brought her closer to a wider public, sensitive to her combination of introspection and visual aesthetics.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2837\" data-end=\"2884\"><strong data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2884\">The connection with Miyazaki&#8217;s universe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2886\" data-end=\"3162\">In <strong data-start=\"2889\" data-end=\"2897\">2022<\/strong>, Amaia Arrazola surprised again with <em data-start=\"2938\" data-end=\"2951\">Totoro y yo<\/em>, also published by Lunwerg. In this work, the artist paid tribute to Japanese filmmaker <strong data-start=\"3048\" data-end=\"3066\">Hayao Miyazaki<\/strong> and the Studio Ghibli universe, which had deeply influenced her artistic imagination. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3164\" data-end=\"3512\">With this book, Arrazola explored <strong data-start=\"3197\" data-end=\"3283\">nostalgia, the connection with nature and tenderness as a form of resistance<\/strong> to the noise of the modern world. His approach to Japanese culture was not a simple homage, but another example of his <strong data-start=\"3411\" data-end=\"3485\">constant curiosity and his ability to absorb diverse influences<\/strong> without losing his identity. <\/p>\n<h2><strong data-start=\"3523\" data-end=\"3579\">Urban art with soul: the murals that left their mark<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3581\" data-end=\"3787\">In addition to her editorial work, Amaia Arrazola stood out as the <strong data-start=\"3641\" data-end=\"3670\">author of large murals<\/strong> in public spaces, a facet that made her a reference in <strong data-start=\"3741\" data-end=\"3784\">urban art with a social and human approach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3789\" data-end=\"4177\">In <strong data-start=\"3792\" data-end=\"3813\">December 2023<\/strong>, he presented one of his most celebrated works: a mural in the <strong data-start=\"3875\" data-end=\"3909\">district of Gr\u00e0cia (Barcelona)<\/strong>, on the <strong data-start=\"3917\" data-end=\"3964\">perimeter fence of the Abacer\u00eda Market<\/strong>, where he lived.
