Biography:

Cristina Jobs is a plastic artist who works with hyperrealist sculpture, not only from an aesthetic and technical point of view, but in a different way from the path outlined, always being on the frontier of innovation. Her art focuses on sensations and visual impact on social issues, human rights and emotions, and is inspired by the ways of life through nature. Born in Tortosa in 1985, she moved to Barcelona, Madrid and later Bilbao, following her artistic career, to end up settling in the Ebro Delta, in her hometown, for good. Art has been her passion since she was a baby, although she didn't start taking it seriously until 2004 when she entered makeup artist school. She trained in realistic sculpture and character sculpture. She began her artistic career in 2006, under her real name, Cristina Iglesias, as a special effects technician for cinema. She worked as a technician in several national and international character creation companies. In 2009, Cristina Iglesias formed her first co-directed company, in the Basque Country, having gained extensive experience as a 'Key artist' within the sector, to later continue her solo business career, creating the company ClonFactory SLU, the first FX studio, human and animal replicas for cinema in Spain, directed solely by a woman. Her work as an artistic director can be seen in dozens of films both nationally and internationally, and has been nominated and awarded at festivals around the world. She has been part of the 2016 Goya Award-winning team in his department, and her work was reflected in the 2016 Oscar Awards, under the nomination 'Loreak'. She has exhibited in countless rooms.
