When I finished my studies in History of Art, I never thought that one day I was to be in front of an empty canvas, and somehow sharing the feelings of so many painters along History. Before getting fully involved in painting, I have been going around the world carrying out different activities, all related to culture. I have been a teacher of Spanish in what today is the Instituto Cervantes in Algiers, I have taught History of Art in the Universidad Nacional de El Salvador, I have contributed to a book for adult education on History of El Salvador published by the United Nations, and I have as well taught Spanish at the Lycée Français in Brasilia. In Spain, I have been an exhibit coordinator for the Spanish Society for Cultural Action Abroad, with which I also collaborated in Washington D.C. I currently work as a teacher of History of Art and Spanish Architecture for the IES Abroad Foundation in Madrid, and I have also trained in Art Therapy working with people with mental health problems. Art as a form of expression and as a vehicle for the transmission of experiences and emotions.

    When I remember how I started painting in a studio in the Prado street in Madrid, I can hardly believe that what was then just a creative impulse has now become my profession. At the beginning, my obsession was to overcome the technical challenges that I was facing, and only as I managed to do so I could really consider the next step: what do I want to communicate. When teaching at the Art Studio in Moscow, I learnt how important it is to work with other people´s regard, and how creative a group can be when ideas and technical advice are constantly exchanged. I also want to say that you learn to paint while painting, opening your eyes to what is around you and being critical to your own process. When I look at my work and I try to explain it, I see that all of it is driven by the search of forgotten beauty and harmony. All representations are veiled by layers that still allow you to see through. There is some kind of nostalgia, that of a person that goes from one place to the other and always yearns for something: a landscape, a loved one, a scent, the colour of the olive trees ….

    I like to play with the ideas of order and chaos, so that there are parts of the painting that can be clearly recognized while in others colour takes the place for its own with a touch of wild freedom. This combination of done and broken accompanies my work and a part of myself, always starting from scratch and leaving something behind in every place you live. Anyway, I believe that what can better explain the work of an artist is the work itself, and that painters use their brushes loaded with colours and shapes so that viewers can read them and we do not have the need to explain ourselves with words.
