Mi
name is José Manuel
Cotrina.
I´m Spanish, and live in Spain, near Madrid. I was born in 1966 in
Madrid. Painting has been a constant part of my life, and my source of
learning and personal development. I have not used painting as source of
economic income, since until now my working activity has been centered
on fashion design . In 1996 I created an accessories company (www.unode50.com),
that at the moment is a franchise stores system with international presence
(in Europe). Some years ago, I sold my company and I have worked as a free-lance
designer for almost all the fashion accessory companies of Spain.
At the moment, I am painting and writing like an expression of which I
feel to be my authentic inner and outer intention.
