Achievement 1: Verification Through Introduction

Hello, community! My name is Lucía Soria, a painter and Spanish Language and Literature teacher.

In 2023, I arrived in Barcelona with the idea of ​​spending my gap year traveling around Spain. But I couldn't help but fall in love with the charms of this city and the richness of Catalan culture.

So I chose to stay, but I only understood this when I completed my first trimester of classes at @espailafont. This is a painting and ceramics workshop led by a wonderful person who, in addition to being a great artist, is an art therapist, Neus Frigola.

Over time, I`ll bring into this space some of the work I've done in her workshop; the impact it had on me was profound and led to a deeply liberating transformation.

So, today, at 45 years old, I feel like I've finally found the path on which I want to build the second half of my life (I hope).

I'm thrilled to share it with a community of people who share my passion for art and the sensitivity that makes us worthy of the gift of being able to appreciate the beautiful representations of the world and its infinite parts. Let's continue contributing to the enrichment of our culture, because as humans, it makes us worthy, allows us to know ourselves and others, and helps us understand, feel, and transcend.

Thank you for having me.
