Lula Goce
Lula Goce was born in Galicia, Spain. She grew up influenced by the salty coastal air, Barnacles, Drizzle and the beautiful beaches this region of Spain is famous for. At 20 she moved away too Salamanca and graduated in fine arts specializing in painting. She proceeded too take part in competitions and scholarships with emphasis on ephemeral sculptures as well as paintings, both in public spaces, museums and galleries.
During this period she discovered the thrill of transplanting her work from the gallery environment onto walls bringing a fresh perspective too a very structured graffiti scene, leaving iconic pieces in the streets and abandoned buildings. She studied a PhD as well as a Master in artistic creation at The Fine Art University of Barcelona. Graphic Design at The Pauta Formacio and of Illustration at The Escola de la Dona. Barcelona turned out had a vibrant, thriving, huge underground graffiti scene. Lula became part of art collectives developed in old factories like Hangar, Caminal or La Escocesa in Poblenou. Here she met and became a member of the raw street art collective and proceeded to develop her technic on the streets and walls of Barcelona.
