  • Sara Fernández Tomar

    "The first thing CEU taught me was to strengthen my knowledge. At first one wonders why so much insistence and rigor in hand drawing, but over time I understood that CEU students always stand out for the high graphic and artistic level of their hand and computer drawings. That is why every graphic career followed by CEU means high level."
