Seville, 1989.

She studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins in London. Irene Infantes does not distinguish between art and design. In her practice, she tackles both fields in parallel, matching her art production with collaborative projects for design firms like Christopher Farr. In both fields, the artist explores the plasticity of materials: she tenses their resistance and applies them to execute works characterized by a synthesis of representation and the use of a varied repertoire of materials, textures, and surfaces. Her work aims to disturb the viewer from the point of view of interpretation, and seduce him thanks to the materiality of the works, the color and the compositional clarity.

She obtained a residence grant in the V C3A Research and Production Program in 2021, he won the Texprint Award in 2017 that led him to exhibit in different galleries in the UK and Paris, in 2020 he won the El Diseño: A Journey Between Italy and Spain.
