A brush with... Cristina Iglesias
Ben Luke talks to Cristina Iglesias about her life and work. She recalls how Disney's Fantasia made an impression on her as a child, how Velázquez's Spinners (Las Hilanderas) started her lifelong love of the collection of the Prado museum in Madrid, for which she created one of her best-known public projects. She discusses other major public commissions, including her underwater sculptures in the Baja California off Mexico and her latest project, Hondalea, in a lighthouse on Santa Clara island in the bay of her home town, San Sebastián, in northern Spain. She talks about her love of science fiction, including J.G. Ballard, the importance of music and her work with her composer brother Alberto on a new opera project. And she answers the final questions we ask all our guests on A brush with...: if you could live with just one work of art, what would it be? And what is art for?
