Antonia Esther (Tony)

Illustrations and paintings in the style of Pop & Comic art, cheeky and slutty, with a lot of humor and color.

A plastic artist, from Murcia, graduated from Valencia Fine Arts, from 1994 to 1999, key years and city to understand her work. The Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia was and is one of the most modern in Spain. In that period of time it was the only one that taught the subject of comics and animation. "Great influences on my work, in addition to Pop Art, Picasso's Cubism and Almodóvar's Films, together with the classic American cinema of the Femme Fatale , form my style and artistic discourse " the artist tells us.

At that time, he appeared on TV " La Veneno ", in the Pepe Navarro program, which caused a great impact on his way of seeing the female world and everything that surrounded him. The figure of the woman began to be his source of creation but It had nothing to do with realistic canons and references, they were her own creation, and at that time she was not able to express everything she felt, for fear of criticism. She dedicated herself to giving art classes for 20 years, throughout which she has carried out many artistic collaborations, in the form of pictorial performance, giving workshops or being a curator of collective exhibitions, at the El Cante de las Minas International Flamenco Festival , which is held in La Unión, where the artist is from. Here he received an award for Plastic Arts in 2018, for his artistic collaborations with the festival.

In 2022 he made the Poster for the IV Trovos contest, of the same festival, revolutionizing everything, for his Goddess Del Trovo, with one chest exposed. In the summer of 2022, he has had his first exhibition at the gallery Magasse Art Gallery in Seville. At that moment he decides to close the Academy, and dedicate yourself completely to your career artistic.
