Painting gives me peace, releases my mind from worries, and makes me feel free and full of life, filling me with positive feelings. It allows me to express what I feel from the heart and communicate good values.
What is my idea of perfect happiness?
For me happiness is to be healthy and see that those around me are happy and healthy too. It’s living here and now with a smile. It’s to be myself, live free in peace, respecting and loving everything around us, enjoying the little things, dedicating my life to what I love, being grateful.
What is my greatest fear?
Many… But none of them unbeatable. I
guess that loosing that happiness that we have talked about before.
What is the trait that I most deplore
in myself?
My insecurity, I have always been very shy, but I try to improve day by day!
What is my greatest extravagance?
I am too much perfectionist
On what occasion would I lie?
To protect myself or to protect
someone.
What is the influence of role models, in my work and in my life?
In my opinion you can always learn
from everything around you. Nowadays there are many painters who inspire me a
lot, but I feel that it’s very important to be yourself and keep your own
essence.
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work?
I don´t like having to convince
anybody, I think that painting should speak for itself. I don´t really like
hypocrisy that many times involves the world of art. I feel very sad when I see
how excellent artists have no opportunities today.
When and where was I the happiest, in my work?
Last year I got a scholarship and I´ve
been living in Bali for one year. I loved painting there, surrounded by nature
and humble people with a big hearth. Inspiration was everywhere. It was like a
dream.
If I could, what
would I change about myself?
I would like to be more confidence
What is my greatest achievement
in work?
I’ve received different awards from
my paintings, and I´m so grateful about that, but for me it was very important
that two years ago, I was selected as a representative painter of Spain to
participate in the I Meditation Artistic Retreat in Thailand. For me this was
one of the most beautiful and enrichment experience in my life, I noticed that
we can use our artworks to create consciousness towards peace
What is my most inspirational location, in my city?
There are many natural places where I
can find my inspiration. Surrounded by nature everything looks magic and I can
free my mind. Forest, birds, flowers, sunsets and sunrises… every of them are source
of inspiration.
What is my favourite place to eat and drink, in my city?
I can´t choose one. But I really love
Spanish food. You can find a lot of delicious places to eat and drink here.
Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime?
My family and friends, they are
always with me. I´m so grateful having so wonderful people around me.
Whom would I like to work with in the future?
There are a lot of spectacular
painters that I admire a lot, whom I would be pleased to work with and learn
about them...
What project, in the nearby
future, am I looking forward to work on?
After one year in Bali, I want to
capture and communicate the experiences and learnings that I got through a
series of painting.
How can you contact me?
