Thirty-five year old
Patricia Krebs grew up in Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Between nine and twelve years old, she attended the
Vocational Institute of Art (I.V.A.) where she participated in group
classes of
music, art, puppetry, drama, literature, dance and movement. At the age of thirteen,
Krebs started her
career as a Visual Artist at the 'Rogelio Yrurtia' National School of
Fine Arts,
where she graduated as a Fine Arts Teacher; after this, she completed
her
superior studies at the 'Prilidiano Pueyrredón' National School
of Fine Arts with
a degree in Painting; and then in 2001 she obtained a degree in
Contemporary
Visual Arts from the National Institute University of Art (IUNA). Concurrently, Krebs
studied guitar and singing lessons
at the Walter Malosetti Superior School of Jazz. Today she's both a
visual
artist
and a musician. Over the last fifteen
years, Krebs has had the chance
to work in collaboration with artists, writers, actors, artisans,
musicians and
educators on many projects, in the capacity of a singer, songwriter,
illustrator, portraitist, muralist and graphic designer. In addition,
she
has
created puppets, props and costumes for teathical events (Group of Investigation, Production
and Education of Music GIPEM, Cantartes, Buenos Aires Conservatory of
Drama, Librujas, Abravida); written
lyrics & music for her own musical projects as well as for other
artists and companies; and recorded Spanish voiceovers for
major movies, such as Corpse
Bride,
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Happy Feet and Beowulf.. These collaborations have
influenced Krebs’
paintings, sculptures and illustrations, and inspired her to include
and fuse elements
from different artistic expressions in her visual work. Krebs' art has been commissioned by private collectors and published in book and album covers (ICMus Editions, USal Editions, Desert Music, among others); magazine articles (Decisio Magazine, published by the Center of Regional Cooperation for the Education of Adults in Latin America and the Caribbean, CREFAL, sponsored by UNESCO and the Mexican Government); educational posters (PreVIHsida, Program for the Prevention of HIV, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of Argentina; 2005 International Congress of Music Therapy, Montevideo, Uruguay); and in award winning children's books, such as Zee... Adventure One: Borrowing China; Circus Fever; Classic Songs, Rhymes and Activities in English, Spanish and ASL; On Your Mark, Get Set Go! and the upcoming I'm 5. Some highlights in Krebs' career include: being selected by MOCA curator Alma Ruiz for the Women Artists On Immigration exhibition at the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles (Feb. 2008); being selected for the Latino Heritage MonthCalendar & Cultural Guide (2007, 08, 09) published by the Department of Cultural Affairs of Los Angeles (2007, 2008 & 2009); being selected by the Mayor among hundreds of artists for the Official Invitation of the Latino Heritage Month Opening Celebration (Sep. 2009); receiving a Certificate of Special Recognition "in appreciation of outstanding and invaluable artistic contribution to the City of Los Angeles 2009 Latino Heritage Month" presented during the exhibition "CELEBRANDO!" at Fremont Gallery in South Pasadena (Jan. 2010).
