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 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, making mortars with them, a process that grounds my energy.
MY PRACTICE:
My work is an ongoing dialogue with those materials that I 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. The resulting paintings are immediate, tactile, weighty objects inspired by the abstract patterns found in nature.
EDUCATION:
BA Hons fine arts at Ruskin Anglia University, Cambridge, UK.
