Creative Campus Fashion Show at Real Casino de Madrid

Photographer: Juan Carlos Vega
Year: 2025
Technique / Materials: Photographic print on Dibond
Dimensions: 100 × 70 cm

This image documents the fashion show held at Real Casino de Madrid, where Creative Campus Fashion students presented a selection of garments developed during their training processes. The photograph captures the intersection between learning, experimentation, and institutional context, presenting fashion as a space for material research, contemporary expression, and identity construction. The collaboration between Creative Campus and Real Casino de Madrid strengthens the relationship between academic training, cultural institutions, and emerging professional projection.

Mickey Frame I

Authors: Iker Jesús Curiel, Miriam de la Fuente, Clara Bárcena
Technique / Materials: Graphite on paper
Year: 2025
Dimensions: 21 × 29.7 cm

This frame corresponds to the clean-up process of an animation created on paper based on the original work by Walt Disney. The piece forms part of the learning of classical animation techniques, where manual drawing allows the understanding of movement construction, character expressiveness, and narrative sequencing. The work highlights the importance of artistic drawing as a conceptual and technical foundation in early animation training.

Mickey Frame II

Authors: Iker Jesús Curiel, Miriam de la Fuente, Clara Bárcena, Julieta Manrique
Technique / Materials: Acrylic on acetate and acrylic on paper
Year: 2025
Dimensions: 21 × 29.7 cm

This frame belongs to an animation produced using traditional acetate techniques combined with a pictorial background created with acrylic paint. The work reflects the learning of the classical multi-layer animation system, allowing the exploration of relationships between character, background, and visual depth. The piece introduces students to historical animation methodologies, encouraging material experimentation and understanding of audiovisual processes.

Stitch Frame I

Authors: Bárbara Franco, Marta Molinero, Sergio Guevara, Julieta Manrique
Technique / Materials: Graphite on paper
Year: 2025
Dimensions: 21 × 29.7 cm

This frame presents the clean-up process of an animation produced on paper based on the original work by Walt Disney. The exercise focuses on line precision, volumetric character construction, and continuity of movement. The piece forms part of classical animation training, where manual drawing functions as a fundamental tool for narrative and visual understanding.

Stitch Frame II

Authors: Bárbara Franco, Marta Molinero, Sergio Guevara
Technique / Materials: Acrylic on acetate and acrylic on paper
Year: 2025
Dimensions: 21 × 29.7 cm

This frame corresponds to an animation created using traditional acetate techniques, where the character is integrated into a pictorial background developed with acrylic paint. The work explores scenographic construction, interaction between visual layers, and narrative composition within classical animation. The piece highlights manual experimentation as a foundation for technical and creative learning in animation studies.

Hilma Abstraction

Author: Ángela Sánchez López
Technique / Materials: Textile sewing
Dimensions: 120 × 160 cm

This textile piece proposes an abstract reinterpretation of Hilma af Klint’s work, taking The Swan No. 17 as reference. Through sewing as a constructive language, the work translates pictorial composition into a material and volumetric system. The recreation from a top-down perspective introduces perceptual variations that oscillate between flatness and three-dimensionality, generating new relationships of balance, rhythm, and composition. The result is a tactile and spatial translation of the artist’s symbolic imagery.

Vasarely in Motion

Author: Cristina Colomer Bursón
Technique / Materials: Modular plane assembly
Dimensions: 131 × 85 × 51 cm

This work is a modular body device inspired by the experimental tradition of the Bauhaus and the Op Art of Victor Vasarely. Through black-and-white abstract geometries, it generates optical effects of vibration, depth, and movement. The structure is composed of independent modules of different shapes and sizes that articulate around the body, allowing variable configurations according to posture and movement. The proposal activates Gestalt principles — figure-ground, continuity, and symmetry — producing constant perceptual shifts in volume. The body acts as a dynamic support, while the viewer’s gaze completes the visual experience.

Arm Paurea Chair

Author: Guillermo Sebastián Portugal Sierra
Technique / Materials: FDM 3D Printing
Dimensions: 584 × 577 × 807 mm

Arm Paurea Chair is a piece generated through computational design and additive manufacturing that adopts structural principles found in nature. Rather than being conventionally designed, its structure has been digitally “grown” using material efficiency and reticular resistance logics. Its morphology draws inspiration from biological systems such as diamond beetle scales, the wing membranes of the butterfly Callophrys rubi, and sea urchin skeletal plates. The result is a lightweight yet resistant chair integrating biomimicry, structural optimization, and 3D printing production.
