Carme Rodriguez Tajes

I was born in Abelleira, a Galician village located at the northwest coast of Spain. I have always loved manual work and I have always been a good student. These two things and a deep link to the sea fed an early tendency towards loneliness. Reading and drawing in nature spots occupied a big part of my “free” time as a teenager.
In those days, one of my teachers guided me through the first attempts with oil painting. Actually, the after-class lessons with her have been the only art education that I have followed, and I still clean brushes in the way she told me to.
As I grew up, science and academy occupied more and more of my time. I studied Physics at Santiago de Compostela and I made a PhD in experimental nuclear physics. I guess I can use an expression that I once heard: “studying Physics until the ultimate consequences”.
During those years, research became the number one priority. I shared with some of my colleagues a double scientific-artistic profile. Trips for conferences and experiments were also incredible opportunities for exploring different places around the world, meeting artists of multiple disciplines, visiting museums,… However, any true commitment with a personal art project was complicated.
