Dark City

by Inma Serrano  Sorry at first because I have not already scan all the sketches I made in Singapour during the symposium. It really was an unforgettable experience for me,  for everyone, I think.

Swing in Seville

4 Days in Lisbon – The poetry is in the street.

By Inma Serrano in Lisbon, Portugal. Last weekend I was very lucky to be invited to Lisbon by Vieira da Silva house museum to teach a workshop about Sketching organized by Eduardo Salavisa.

Exploring new ways to draw…

by Inma Serrano, Seville (Spain) I think sometimes you have to challenge yourself. I like to change the way I sketch, to change the material or the style and explore new paths. I feel strange and a little uncomfortable with new stuffs, but I think it´s necessary for me to try, not to get tired […]

International Women´s Day

By Inma Serrano, in Seville (Spain) Days like today help us to remember that much still remains to be done in relation to the women´s rights and liberties. It is very important to be aware of the inequality suffered by many women in the world. Many of us are still fighting for this.

Small & ugly dog

by Inma Serrano, Sevilla (Spain) I often draw things that people use to describe as “ugly” or “unimportant” because I probably could make sketches often better than the reality, and it is a way to avoid the fear of doing a ridicule drawing… This dog I tried to sketch this morning in the street looked […]

My London travel sketchbook

I was in London after the Oxford workshop, spending my first week of vacation. Sometimes I walk through unknown places as if I was at home. I like watching the almost unknown places slowly, confidently, as if I had always been there. That is why I like to draw, because I can spend a long time looking […]

To educate for life

More than once I experienced the magical power that portrait provides: Feel closer to unknown people, through the intimate space that each of us has, and create a sort of common place where I feel really close and friendly with people I do not know. A month ago I prepared this activity with my students: […]

Beach season

La Casa Grande del Pumarejo

After thirteen years of struggle to regain this place, declared “Property of Cultural Interest” in 2003, and owned by Seville City Hall, the neighbors decided to start by themselves the rehabilitation of Casa Grande, in a small Square called Pumarejo in Seville.  In 2012 they drove the project “Lo hacemos nosotr@s” (“We do ourselves”) designed […]
