ViX+ recently released the first look at the original dramedy "Los Artistas: Primeros Trazos," translated as "The Artists: First Strokes." “It has been very gratifying for me to participate in the adventure of 'Los Artistas: Primeros Trazos,' an engaging, agile, and luminous series with magnificent actors, beautiful scenery, plots full of ingenuity and much, much talent. An enriching project that leads you to finish each episode with a feeling of enjoyment and a smile on your face," Director, María Dueñas, said.
The project serves as María Dueñas’ first direct-to-series project and the first production under the first-look agreement between the bestselling author and TelevisaUnivision. Dueñas also has two new projects in the works with with ViX, currently under development as part of the renewal of this deal. Filmed in Spain and the U.S., this original series finished production in Miami last month. Francesc Garrido (“Waiting for May,” “El Jaguar”) will play the antagonist of the series produced by 360 Powwow and Isla Audiovisual, under the direction of Joaquín Llamas, Oriol Ferrer and Manuel Sanabria and the production of Daniel Gutman and Victor García.
Starring Maxi Iglesias and Ximena Romo, "Los Artistas: Primeros Trazos," tells the story of Cata (Ximena Romo), a young Mexican art connoisseur, whom the bitter twists of fate lead to work in a mediocre restaurant in Madrid, and Yago (Maxi Iglesias), a young Spanish antique dealer forced by bad luck to close his business and who’s now looking for new opportunities. Unexpectedly, they get to know each other and their chemistry, paired with the need to find a way out of their harsh circumstances, make them a seductive couple looking for buyers for magnificent works of art. The problem is that such works are fake.
