Trained in the classic techniques of binding, her commitment has always been to make this art affordable, by researching less expensive techniques, both in time and materials, that help to provide a contemporary image to the artist's book, beyond what is provided by classic binding. Susana Dominguez's personal style is characterized by the constant research on new materials and techniques, working together with artists and techniques from other disciplines, but always looking for a personal touch with solutions that fit the needs of today's bookbinding.
Susana has been awarded in Spain and other European countries for her work in the bookbinding world and since 2006, she has been teaching at Códex studio, together with Guadalupe Roldán. Códex, the studio of which she is the founder, has become an international reference in artistic bookbinding, and a space for the exchange of ideas and knowledge in which a large number of bookbinders and artists of different nationalities have received their education.
