BIOGRAPHY

I am a self-taught artist that decided to start painting in 2020. For many years I had put aside my desire to be an artist, but life taught me that one can have as many beginnings as one wants or needs. During Covid confinement, I found myself feeling and looking at things in a more profound way. Painting opened all my senses and helped me to “read between the lines” of life. There are no boundaries for the human mind if we let ourselves be taken by our creativity. I felt that my art could not stay forever in silence.

STATEMENT

Each one of my paintings is piece of me, telling a story, like a diary. They contain layers of dramatism, happiness, hope, grief, celebration, resilience, clarity, darkness, love, memories, dreams and visions… my desire is that the viewer can feel all the emotions through design, value, color and texture.
