Early life and education
Trini Tinturé was born in Lleida, 6 August 1935, at the start of the Spanish Civil War. Her family of six lived on the income of her father, who had a carpentry workshop.
From a very early age, she showed a fondness for drawing. Though her training was limited to being self-taught, in 1955, Tinturé was awarded the first medal for artistic drawing by the Círculo de Bellas Artes in her hometown.
Career
In 1957, she went by train to Barcelona, where a great-aunt of hers lived. There, Tinturé had no problems finding work as a cartoonist in small publishing houses (Gráficas Soriano; Indedi), contributing to publications for children and adolescents. She also tried working in advertising agencies. In 1960, she joined the publishing house Editorial Bruguera where she drew for the magazines Celia and Sissi. From there, she made the leap to the foreign market through the agency Creaciones Editoriales. Her comics, such as Biggi, Jurtz, Jamp Shop, Tina, and Twinkle, were published in magazines in Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom. Her comics series for foreign markets include Jinty, Oh, Tinker!, and Curly.
From 1981, with scriptwriters Andreu Martín and Francisco Pérez Navarro, Tinturé developed her most popular series, Emma es encantadora, for the magazine Lily. In 2015, the 33 Salón Internacional del Cómic dedicated an exhibition under the title "Autoras del cómic femenino en el franquismo 1940/1970" in which Tinturé's works were included. In 2023, the 41st Barcelona International Comic Fair awarded the Grand Prize to Tinturé.
