My work is deeply rooted in ancient history. Its stories, symbols, and timeless beauty shape how I see color, form, and composition. Inspired by nature, history, and philosophy, I let these influences come together and evolve into something new. By blending ancient aesthetics with modern techniques, I create a conversation that feels alive and relevant today. The materials I choose often lead the way, inspiring unexpected ideas and guiding my creative flow. Balance and harmony are central to my practice, but I also incorporate contrast and negative space as a way to reflect on where we’ve come from and where we are now.

Caring for the planet is equally important to me, so I’m committed to using sustainable materials and minimizing my ecological footprint, both in my art and how it reaches you. I believe the most sustainable packaging is the one that doesn’t exist, but when packaging is necessary, I keep it minimal and eco-friendly, mostly using recycled cardboard and other reusable materials that I often salvage from large corporations to give them a second life. By repurposing and reducing waste, I hope to encourage others to make sustainable choices and show that creativity and care for the environment can go hand in hand. Every small action matters, and together we can make a difference.


BIOGRAPHY

I was born in 1987 in Amposta, Spain. My artistic journey began early, guided by inspiring teachers like Antònia Ripoll at ESARDI, who helped me build a strong foundation and shaped my creative approach. In 2009, I moved to Barcelona to study Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, where mentors such as Jaime de Córdoba and Alberto Carroggio supported me in refining my artistic voice.

After graduating in 2013, I spent a few years living in the Netherlands and Sweden. Those experiences broadened my perspective and introduced me to new ways of seeing and making art, which deeply influenced my work and growth as an artist.

Now back in Spain, I took some time to pause and reflect, which made me return with even greater strength and focus. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with other creatives and be featured in art projects and magazines, experiences that continue to inspire and enrich my practice.

Statement:

“Speaking through art has always been my way to give shape to feelings, thoughts, and ideas that words can’t always capture. Speaking often feels like you only get one chance to say things clearly and confidently, but when I paint or draw, that pressure disappears. I can take my time, moving freely and expressing myself without limits. My work flows from that process. Inspired by everyday moments, the echoes of our heritage, and the rhythms of nature, I let whatever stirs something inside me become the spark to create, translating those invisible emotions into color, form, and texture.”
