Tere welcomes me at her home in the Gracia neighborhood. We look at some of her drawings, perfectly organized in folders. These are images that move from the delicacy of fine pen lines to more vigorous gouaches and watercolors. From delicate portraits of Bauhaus heroines to expressive ape faces, interpretations of erotic Japanese shunga prints, or simple kitchen objects drawn in an almost naive style. And everything very classified, clean and tidy, like the space where she works, like all the work she does as a graphic designer: neat, concise and effective.
Tere Guix has a degree in Biology and a PhD in Medicine. In 1990 she decided she needed a change and studied graphic design at the school of art and design Eina in Barcelona. She worked in the studios of Carme Vives and America Sanchez.
In 1994 she studied digital communication at ETC, Stockholm, and also the Swedish language. In 1998 she founded ETC in Barcelona and in 2004 she set up her own graphic design office, which still continues.
She is very interested in drawing and started to delve into it through the Club del Dibujo that she co-founded with 9 other art, design and photography professionals.
Over the years Tere has been teaching design at Eina, BAU and Escola de la Moda and drawing at the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc.
