Curru Garabal graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona in 1996, with a Major in Sculpture. During her academic years, she studied in different art and design schools: Massana, IED and IDEP, where, thanks to her special bond with the artistic facilites in her student years, she learned the functioning of a camera, excelling as a film editor.
She decided to return to her hometown in Galicia for personal reasons afterwards. There, she started her professional career in the field of Art Direction.
In 2002, along with her colleague and friend Pablo Alvarado, she founded a company specialized in film and advertising, dedicated to the design and production of scenography. The creation of this company would allow her to collaborate hand by hand with great Art Directors who travelled to Galicia to make films, as well as to keep on with her formation. After years of developing her professional career in this area, she was invited to become a member of the board of the Galician Audiovisual Academy.
From 2005 on, she began to combine projects between Galicia and Madrid. This period would last for a few years, and would eventually obligue her to permanently change her residence to Madrid. She currently lives in Madrid with her daughter.
Due to her professional origins, she never had to specialize in a specific category. Her expertise covers a broad range of them, from film, advertising and decoration designs to more artistic facilities and everyday spaces.
Having been constantly linked to the university environment, she earned her PhD in Fine Arts in Pontevedra in 2015. Throughout these 20 years linked to the profession, she has given courses and lectures in several Image and Sound schools, as well as having been the professor of the Art Direction subject in the Faculty of Audiovisual Communication in the University of Santiago de Compostela.
She currently does not have the time to dedicate herself to teaching, but she knows that she will one day.
Her career includes more than 200 commercials, many movies and TV shows. She still loves her work as much as on the first day she started.
