Carmen Arbues Miro

Born in Spain, Carmen started to work at age eighteen during the Post-Franco MOVIDA Spanish Cultural Revolution in the 80's for shows, fashion shows, photo and theatre as a make-up artist and hairdresser. She moved to Paris in 1990 where she met cinema people such as Jean-Pierre Mocky, Yves Boisset, Manuel Poirier as well as the young cinema generation. Since then she has worked on international co-productions for films and most notably in the department of special effects. Her meeting with Muriel Hermine, who was making her first aquatic show in 1991, Sirella, performed in France and Japan and soon to be followed by Crescend'o, introduced Carmen to the world of water and encouraged her to look for new aquatic makeup products. This earned her a place in fashion photos of an aquatic nature for Vogue, Jardin des Modes, Votre Beauté, Elle, as well as for advertisements and videos. She has worked for dance and musical shows with Jérôme Savary and Andy de Groot. Her latest creations include the shows of Sokol Entertainment - Magic Romance (China), Franco Dragone’s Le Rêve (Las Vegas), The Han Show , Dai Show (China), La Perle (Dubai), The House of Dancing Water (Macao) as well as the musicals La légende du roi Arthur, 1789, les amants de la Bastille and Priscilla folle du desert.
