TOLEDO Painting

Artist, illustrator and Architect, with a long and distinguished career in the disciplines of drawing, painting and illustration. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, on July 17, 1953, after her parents moved from Spain at the onset of that country’s Civil War. Engineers and Architects like Fernando and Amos Salvador Rodrigañez, from the Rioja region, and one of the most representative families of Spain’s fourteenth century, are an integral part of her ancestry. Early years Carmen grew up surrounded by books, nature and animals, as well as pencil-made architectural plans, reproductions of Picasso, Dalí and Miró, Calder mobiles, fabrics, embroidery, freshly cut dresses, sewing and needle threading of grandmothers, in addition to her mother's book binding works.
