We were lucky to catch up with Carolina Ballesteros recently and have shared our conversation below.
Carolina, appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I have always been extremely creative since I was a little girl. As far as I can remember, I wanted to be an actress, a model, a designer, a singer, a dancer, and many more things I can’t remember now. The entertainment/fashion industry have always fascinated me.
Carolina, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am originally born and raised in Madrid, Spain. Like I said, I’ve always been extremely creative, so when I was 12 my mother (who has always been, and still is, by my side and supporting me every step of the way)signed me up on my first acting/modelling agency and I started booking modelling jobs almost immediately.
By the time I was 14, I was signed with the biggest modelling agency in Spain, and by the time I was 16 I was signed on a worldwide contract with the biggest modelling agency in the world.
This leaded me to work with the best/most creative people in the industry and started to develop a passion for makeup, paying attention to every single detail to the makeup artists I got to work with.
I basically got to learn the craft from “la créme de la créme” in the makeup world throughout the many years I worked as a professional model. I consider myself very lucky!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Creating is my therapy, my outlet to express the way I feel. My mission I guess is to survive, and the only way to survive today’s world is by creating.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
When you are able to make other people feel beautiful things through your art. That, for me, is the most rewarding aspect of what I do.
