BIOGRAPHY

I am the youngest of 5 siblings, my childhood was the best, lots of play and joie de vivre, my parents have university studies in chemistry, my grandparents lived and grew up in Spain until the Spanish civil war, my yaya (grandmother mother side) usted to work at a taylor made dresses atelier at Barcelona, she was my approach to the Design word she, teach me how to do many crafts, she had a lot of creativity.

My home in many ways was the perfect place to induce creative thinking.

At my early years, I was always painting, drawing, sketching, many times I got into trouble because my notebook was full of drawings instead of the class exercise.

I have a degree in textile design. During university time, I greatly improved my artistic skills, I learned many techniques, I improved the quality, the correct use of materials and I explored a new world of art composition, textures, artistic techniques and experimentation.

I have two daughters, now they are studying a university degree. Their whole childhood was full of many creative activities, experimenting with colors, drawing, hand painting, full of experiments, creating all kinds of crafts, at that time I focused on raising my girls. Im a very restless person, as soon as they started to grow I go back to paint again.

After many years painting watercolor, acrylic, I found this ink technique and fell in love instantly, for me ink paints evoke many things, relevant at this moment of life and make sense on my way of thinking, I never stop to admite the wonderful organic shapes, transparency, movement, the ephimeral, the majesty, fusion, sophistication, like freeze a moment.

STATEMENT

“Open your eyes”
I remember this phrase from my grandmother (on my father’s side), and it’s totally true! Life is full, when we have the ability to pay attention, stay focused on details, some spiritual techniques say that we need to live in the present, and that happens when we are paying attention.
