Iria Domínguez Fraíz
Writer, philologist, and Researcher in Vigo
The creative writer crafts book souls, and charges them with the vivid stimuli proper of imaginative works. This said, books are silently noisy entities and need anyone nosy to give their din the meaning to ignite. Then, they move, enrich, and entertain those who read them. A quite magical exchange, right!?
As a philologist and an artistfrom Vigo, I take inspiration from my splendid environment to boost my stories's souls. However, since I believe in the importance of the interdisciplinary circulation of texts, I try to be critical and keep updated about more global affairs. In this regard, my interests range from the theory of literature and culture to other areas of study such as identity, history, and art.
I obtained my master's degree from the wonderful Nicolaus Copernicus University of Toruń in Poland. There, I was given several tools to grow my expertise in the editing field. Besides, I was encouraged to improve my writing skills and refine my style.
Currently, I am developing my doctoral thesis in Advanced English Studies about Subcreation Studies. I hope to contribute to the scientific community by creating a corpus able to set a starting point for approaching Secondary Worlds and help grow awareness about the Primary World.
My studies have enhanced my interest in how different perspectives feed back to each other, thus making me connect my taste for art to my contributions. I am fond of the seventh art, I sing and enjoy crafts. Notwithstanding that, I should make a special mention of concept art and 3D sculpting. I have acquired knowledge and practice in the fields as well as in character development and character formation, nourishing my research and writing skills.
All things considered, since nowadays society is heading towards a new mode of living enhanced by new technologies, remote working, and globalization besides leaning towards a political and ethical division, the need for multipotential artists who provide art in motion able to challenge societal issues while adapting to society's changes and needs is reinforced.
What's more, art and creativity can help in all fields and moments of life to cope with all types of challenges. It is not alien to science that art can enhance and improve creativity, productivity, mental health, and mood. Thus it is my ally in everything I do.
I am driven to be active contributing with a positive impact; I seek to keep improving in my fields of interest to leave future generations a richer world.
