About

  I was born in Spain but have made my home in California since 1990.

The canvas for me is like a quantum field of possibilities and diversity is the motivation for my work, which is grounded on the observation of the natural world and the human connection. Using color as the magnet that attract the attention of the viewer, images sometimes follow in chaotic patterns and reversed scales, which in turn can transform into geometric shapes or an intimate eye contact with a portrait.

Most of the time, there is no rhyme or reason why i choose a subject. It only needs to catch my attention and I go along with it, and even though the images are rather representational, my main interest is in portraying the essence behind that image.

It is the portrayal of that essence that makes painting a creative adventure as well as a spiritual exploration for me.

I have no academic training or glorified titles. 

In 2014 I took my very first oil painting lesson at a local Atelier with Cynda Valle in Willits, California and within four months I got the first commission to do a large oil painting, "Mariposa", for Mariposa Market portraying a collage-look of rural Mendocino. A year later, the newly built hospital in Willits commissioned me to do another large painting, "Commonwealth gardens", for their physical therapy lobby, this time representing their kitchen garden.

January of 2018- Took "Best in Show" for "Phoenix" at a juried exhibit at the Mendocino Art Center. That gave me a right of passage and confidence to become more public.

March of 2018- I signed up to be a member of the Edgewater Gallery in Fort Bragg. I was a member there from 2018 until 2020.

In 2019-2020, the Alleyway Mural Project gave me an opportunity to became a large scale painter by commissioning me to do a mural for the city of Fort Bragg. "Mendocino, land of extravagant visions" is found on the Skunk Train Property.

In 2021, I completed another mural for the city of Fort Bragg as well. “Queen bee” can be found on the south wall of the “Mayan Fusion” restaurant on Main Street.

Presently I have some of my work on display at the “Brickhouse Coffee” in Willits.
