I'm a mixed media figurative and, dare I say, expressionist artist living in Barcelona, Spain.

Though my journey began with a degree in Fine Arts, it was only later, prompted by the constraints of illness, that I fully embraced my need for creation.

In painting and drawing, I discovered a boundless virtual space with fewer physical limitations, allowing me to explore the depths of human expression and emotion. Each brushstroke, every blend of color, and technique is aimed at delving into the human experience through movement, gesture, and feeling. The result is inevitably an interpretation of the world as it is, and my own reality.

I use mostly acrylics, pastels, charcoal, and ink to depict people known and imagined or bodies in movement.

Through this journey, I've been surprised, grateful, and moved to receive a myriad of complex and powerful interpretations of my work from those who are touched by it. I hope that I can move you too.
