María: 1- Since when have you been interested in Art?
Marina: – (smiling) It has always interested me and above all I have enjoyed it. When I was young, more or less your age, (addressing me), it was already very clear to me that I wanted to study Fine Arts and I had the support of my parents. I studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Seville University, an artistic training center that dates back to the XNUMXth century. It is a beautiful Faculty, in which I learned and enjoyed a lot.

Maria: 2- What do you like most about Fine Arts?
Marine: - What I like the most about Fine Arts is how it harmonizes a series of disciplines, such as technical drawing, learning different techniques and artistic restoration, the study of the concept of Art and the historical evolution of Art. Outside the academic field, you introduces you to an exciting and fascinating cultural-artistic environment.

Maria: 3- When did you feel the vocation for teaching?
Marine: - It has always been latent in me. That vocation has attracted me and interested me. In fact, when I was in my fourth year of my degree I did the CAP (Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude), which accredits you to dedicate yourself to teaching, so I was already considering the possibility of dedicating myself to teaching.

Maria: 4- Do you think that the artist is born or made?
Marina: – The artist is born and made.
He is born with an artistic and creative capacity that also requires learning and experience. Picasso already said that inspiration exists; but he has to find you working.

Maria: 5- What is the exhibition that has impressed you the most?
Marine: - Normally or almost always I am impressed by all the ones I go to. Of the latter, I have been fascinated by Kandinsky at CentroCentro Cibeles in Madrid, a journey by this painter on his artistic and spiritual trajectory, and another by Carmen Laffón at the CAAC in Seville.

Maria: 6- Do you frequently visit museums or exhibitions?
Marine: - I always try to attend if there is an interesting exhibition or one that has been recommended to me for some special reason. I like to visit museums and I don't mind repeating. Works of art, a painting, a painting, a sculpture, a film... every time I look at them again, new emotions appear in me, I see them with new eyes, there are always new things that I discover. Always up-to-date, regardless of the year or century to which they belong, leaves out everything that is only of interest as a testimony of taste or fashion of a given moment.
I believe that Art depends on how you see it, on feelings, emotions, a restless world of its own.
Great works of art look different every time you look at them.
The eye sees and the mind interprets.
