About
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 embraced painting again, developing a distinctive style that not only defines her work but also enables her to connect with a wider audience and grow as an artist.
Her works are vibrant portraits of memories and personal sensations, where she skillfully employs elements such as accessories, layers of clothing, and an interplay of colors and forms. By experimenting with these components, she creates unique compositions that reflect her connection to each piece. Deeply inspired by the aesthetics of fashion, Justine enjoys blending these influences to craft a visual language that feels authentic and resonant.
