Justine Franco Butez (1996), originally from Mallorca and currently residing in A Coruña, is an artist whose work captures vivid scenes of memories and emotions. She began her artistic journey at the Pancho Lasso Art School in Lanzarote, later pursuing a degree in Heritage Restoration and Conservation at the Complutense University of Madrid. However, concerned about her future, she shifted her focus to product design, discovering a new avenue for independence and creative exploration. Despite this shift, her deep passion for painting remained a constant, eventually drawing her back to her artistic roots.
 

In 2020, Justine fully reconnected with her passion for painting, developing a distinctive style that not only defines her artistic voice but also allows her to forge a deeper connection with a growing audience, marking her growth as an artist.
Her works are vibrant portraits of memories, where she intertwines elements such as accessories, layers of clothing, and the dynamic interplay of color and form.

Drawing inspiration from her Spanish heritage, Justine delves into the cultural richness of Spain, incorporating iconic elements of tradition. These cultural symbols add a layer of depth and visual resonance to her pieces, grounding them in the timeless beauty of her roots. At the same time, she looks beyond her own culture, drawing from the diverse aesthetics of other traditions and the ever-evolving world of fashion. This global perspective allows her to create a unique, personal fusion—blending historical references with contemporary influences.

For Justine, the colors, layers, and elements she incorporates into her work are essential tools in constructing the visual compositions she wishes to convey. These components work together to make her pieces stand out in an increasingly minimalist world, where her art becomes an element of contrast in the surrounding environment. 
 

In 2024, Justine expanded her artistic reach through collaborations with prominent brands. Between May 24 and March of 2025, she collaborated with Kave Home, presenting her works at the Kave Gallery. Additionally, in May 2024, she launched a clothing collection in collaboration with Zara Woman, which was available worldwide.
