NAMTARU

I am Irene D.M. aka Namtaru and I was born in Spain in 1984. Always had a special interest in graphic arts and music, uising the inspiration and mixing both of them in my art.

I studied the artistic bachelor degree and developed a big interest for photography when she was 18. Following that interest, I joined in the Art School of Seville to became Superior Technic in Artistic Photography two years after. During these years I started to network with metal bands for comission artwork and live photography. Before finishing the degree I practised as a live reporter for Estadio Deportivo, a spanish sport journal, in which my images were published from covers to central pages and back covers.

In 2005 I moved to Barcelona where I,m now finishing an Illustration superior degree in the Art School “Illa” in Sabadell, and become Superior Technic in that category. At the end of the same year, I started to work as collaborator for Friedhof Online Magazine (Spain), working as live photographer, live reviews and band interviews – and also helping with the webzine design.

Actually, in 2008, I presented my finaly project for the Illustration superior degree, getting a 9,8 over 10 as calification. This project is about work and life of the north american cinema director David Lynch.

After that, I changed my residence to Norway at the beginning of February, where I am still working as freelance, preparing new art projects and looking for a new studio.
