The Hero's Journey & artist Rufina Santana

Rufina Santana is a Spanish painter with a degree in Fine Arts and Painting from Barcelona University. She lives in Lanzarote (Canary Islands), where she produces most of her work. For more than three decades she has been showing her artwork around the world: USA, Poland, Ukraine, Japan, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Germany; becoming one of the most internationally recognized contemporary artists from Spain. She is an experienced pedagogue and a regular guest-speaker on the lecture circuit. “The Hero’s Journey” is a pattern of narrative - identified by the American scholar Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) - that lies behind many of the world’s greatest stories. Narratives built on the model of the hero myth have an appeal that can be felt by everyone because they reflect universal concerns. Rufina Santana will give a lecture at Boston University on the concept of “The Hero’s Journey” and its impact on her artistic practice. The event will be particularly interesting for those students who are graduating and about to embark on a new adventure.
