ABOUT ME

Between art and the sea. The cornerstones of my life. Art inspires me to create new ideas, and bring them to life on canvas, sharing what my mind dares to imagine in harmony with what my soul seeks to express. Painting immerses me completely in my inner world; it is beautiful to witness how what I once visualised in my imagination takes shape. Marine life renews me, allowing me to feel the value of nature, It expands my sense of wonder and makes my energy flow. In both worlds I feel calm, peace, and fulfillment, in them, time seems to stand still. Through art, I give; through the sea, I receive.
Born in Buenos Aires, I graduated with a degree in Biological Sciences, always knowing deep down that my true calling was to explore the ocean. In turn, from my great-grandfather, grandfather, and mother, all Valencian painters of canvases and fans, I inherited a passion for painting and grew up admiring the detail and subtlety in each of their works. From a very young age, I have felt the need to create art that combines expression and abstraction, giving each piece its own unique voice.
Now based in Mallorca, having returned to the beloved Mediterranean of my maternal family, I have combined the opportunity to live by the sea with the joy of creating. While maintaining the same creative spirit over the years, my art seeks to raise questions about life, the transformation of emotions, and the passage of time. My work arises from reflection on the purpose of life, inner liberation, and the enduring nature of deep, authentic bonds—with those who have passed away yet remain with us forever, defying the limits of time and space.
My latest pieces stem from an idea that emerged spontaneously within me, through which I am developing a personal style of fusing abstract concepts to bring figures to life. In the Fusion series, I have captured music and life, giving form to living beings. I view music as a source of inspiration and a catalyst for emotions, instilling in the individual a sense of freedom and purity.
Art allows me to offer, in each piece, an idea conceived from the soul, thought out with intention, and crafted with love. But like the sea, it also allows me to receive... a sensation, an inspiration, a word, or simply the gaze of someone who pauses to observe it...
