Tintoretto, contrasts between masters’, by the teacher of the Drawing and Painting Workshop of the municipal delegation of Culture, Rocio Garin.

The speaker will talk about the great rivalry between the great painters of the Venetian school. Jacopo Robusti, alias Tintoretto, was one of the most daring painters of the Cinquecento and competed with Titian for the clients of Venice.

The activity, with free admission until full capacity is reached, is open to audiences of all ages, and aims to promote interest in the visual arts.

Rocío Garín. Since she was very young, the Estepona artist Rocío Garín (1977) has enjoyed “drawing and painting”, an interest that led her to study at the School of Arts and Crafts in Algeciras and, later, at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Seville, where she graduated in 2001. She quickly began working as a restorer of some of the most significant monuments in Seville, as well as church façades in the capital of Seville.

Since her return to Estepona in 2002, she has been teaching drawing and painting, an activity that she combines with three aspects of her artistic facet: as a researcher, as an artist, and as a teacher, she has developed different teaching methods.

In 2013 she published a “Manual de Dibujo y Pintura” (Drawing and Painting Manual), in which she collects the main techniques and tools to take into account in the first year of students’ training.
