b. 1992. Rosa Caterina. Textile artist and painter based in Mallorca, Balearic Islands.
I studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, where I developed an interest in the transformative nature of organic matter, working with wild plants, wool felt, wax, and paper. In 2013, I studied under Michel Garcia in France and Belgium, reconnecting with ancestral plant knowledge once passed down through the women in my family and deepening my fascination with Mediterranean flora. This led me to pursue a PhD in Plant Biology at the University of the Balearic Islands, focusing on local dye plants. My painting and textile practice explores the magic of folk art and popular culture through the transformation of materials, fostering meaningful and regenerative connections in contemporary arts and crafts. Since 2016, I have lectured at the University of the Balearic Islands, leading workshops and seminars on dye plants. I have also collaborated with institutions such as the Joan March Foundation Museum (Spain), Greta Art School (France), or the Museum of Industry, Labor, and Textile (Belgium). Currently, I am a lead professor in painting in the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme at EUA-UIB.
