ISEM Fashion Business School presented the portrait of its founder and first director, Covadonga O'Shea, at an event held on January 16 at the new headquarters of the University of Navarra in Madrid. The event was attended by various personalities from the publishing and business worlds, as well as O'Shea's colleagues and friends from her time at the head of the school.
Alfonso Sánchez-Tabernero, Rector of the University, wanted to highlight Covadonga O'Shea's generosity, both personally and professionally. He also noted that she will be the first alumna to join the "club of founders" who "have done their bit" to build the University of Navarra, such as Don Ismael Sánchez-Bella, the first rector, and Antonio Valero, the first director of IESE Business School.
The artist Daniel Quintero, author of the portrait, explained the fusion that takes place in the painting between naturalism and the cubist and pop inspiration of the background, which also introduces O'Shea's career in Telva magazine.
Words of gratitude
Covadonga O'Shea dedicated some emotional words of thanks to all those present and recalled the first steps of ISEM, "a project that was born with a vocation for international excellence".
"Life for me has not been just 'a dream', as Calderón de la Barca said, but a series of opportunities that, based on a lot of enthusiasm and hard work, always as a team, have become this reality," Covadonga concluded before unveiling the painting that is already hanging in the Board Room of ISEM Fashion Business School.
