Àgata Alcañiz is an artist from Barcelona based in Manchester. Originally she studied on a four year Graphic Design course at the International Massana College.

Being interested in Digital Art she did a one-year Erasmus program, enrolling in a Multimedia Course at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth. She acquired many computer programs knowledge. Progressively in her career though, Àgata become more interested in applying all the visual knowledge and new technologies acquired over the years, for artistic and no for commercial means. It is then that she decided to find a course that allowed her to do so. Gladly, she found it. That was Contemporary Art at Manchester Metropolitan University.
