Curro Gutiérrez, a classically trained artist with a degree in art history, began his career by studying calligraphy at a small art school in Lisbon. He later decided to delve further into manuscript illumination at the only institution specialized in the subject, the Institut Supérieur Européen de l'Enluminure et du Manuscrit (ISEEM) in Angers, France. After creating an illuminated codex in four different styles, he was named Enlumineur de France, the highest recognition given to an artist in this discipline, becoming the only Spaniard to have earned this title to date.
After completing his studies, he started his own business, Scriptorium Yayyan, specializing in calligraphy and illuminated manuscripts and giving workshops all over Europe.
