- Biography
I was born in the North of Spain and brought to the South, living in the coast of Granada since I was a day old.
I was adopted and I haven’t got any knowledge of my biological family. This I guess influences my work in my choice of materials...mainly a variety of earths that I gather from the places I paint, a process that grounds beautifully my energy and emotions.
My practice is an ongoing dialogue with those materials that I mainly source from nature. Responding to their qualities and colours, I layer, erode, polish and build up the surface in a process of creation and destruction. It’s often lots of fun! The resulting works are inmediate, tactile, weighty objects inspired by the abstract patterns found in nature.
