Carmen Giraldez was born in Barcelona, Spain.
Carmen acquired her interest in art, and especially painting, from her father who is an avid collector and also a painter.
Her early childhood training was “at his knees” as she likes to say.

Irish Art History and Sitemap
The history of Irish art starts around 3200 BC with Neolithic stone carvings at the Newgrange megalithic tomb, part of the Brú na Bóinne complex which still stands today, County Meath.
In early-Bronze Age Ireland there is evidence of Beaker culture and a widespread metalworking.
Trade-links with Britain and Northern Europe introduced La Tène culture and Celtic art to Ireland by about 300 BC, but while these styles later changed or disappeared under the Roman subjugation, Ireland was left alone to develop Celtic designs: notably Celtic crosses, spiral designs, and the intricate interlaced patterns of Celtic knotwork.

Toshio Ebine 海老根俊雄, 1978 | Romantic Fantasy painter
Japanese painter Toshio Ebine** creates vast, windswept scenes full of balloons, lone animals, and a sense of odd foreboding in what should, by rights, be sweet illustrations for children's books.
For biographical notes -in english and italian- and other works by Ebine see:
Paris Bordone | High Renaissance painter
Paris Bordóne, in full Paris Paschalinus Bordone, Bordone also spelled Bordon, (born c. 1500, Treviso, Republic of Venice [Italy] - died Jan. 19, 1571, Venice), Renaissance Venetian painter of religious, mythological, and anecdotal subjects. He is perhaps best known for his striking sexualized paintings of women.
After his father’s death, Bordone moved with his mother to Venice. He probably became a pupil of Titian about 1516 but remained in his workshop for under two years.
José de Ribera | Baroque Era painter
José de Ribera** (1591-1652) was born in Spain, at Játiva near Valencia, and probably received his training there under Francisco Ribalta.
He moved soon afterwards to Italy and following a period in Rome settled in Naples in 1616.
Ribera became well known for the realism of his treatment of violent subjects such as 'The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew' and 'The Flaying of Marsyas' (Pitti, Florence, and Museo di San Martino, Naples, respectively), but he also painted genre scenes and religious subjects in a refined classical mode characterised by a rich palette.| © The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London
Luca Giordano | Court painter in Spain, 1692-1702
Luca Giordano** (1634-1705) was the leading Neapolitan painter of the later 17th century.
He was born in Naples and was trained by Ribera.
He was known as Fa Presto ('does it quickly') because of his speed of painting. His work influenced developments in 18th century art in Naples and elsewhere in Italy.
His style was formed by his experience of Neapolitan art (dominated by the work of Caravaggio), and by his knowledge of the leading Roman painters of the early 17th century notably Annibale Carracci, Pietro da Cortona, and the great Venetian artists of the 16th century.

Luca Giordano | Baroque Era painter
Luca Giordano, (born Oct. 18, 1634, Naples - died Jan. 3, 1705, Naples), the most celebrated and prolific Neapolitan painter of the late 17th century.
His nickname Luca Fa Presto (“Luca, Work Quickly”) is said to derive from his painter-copyist father’s admonitions, which were certainly heeded.
His other nickname, Proteus, was acquired as a result of his reputed skill in producing pastiches in the style of almost any artist.
