Description:

This work was born from a moment of inspiration in Barcelona, strolling along Las Ramblas, one of those walks where the city seems to whisper ideas into your ear. I entered an art shop that has always fascinated me and discovered pearlescent acrylic inks of extraordinary luminosity. Their transparent, iridescent reflections captivated me immediately, and I felt the need to experiment with them freely and intuitively.

I aimed to create a delicate, atmospheric painting, where light would seem to float over the surface. I worked with very soft glazes, letting the colors blend slowly into ethereal, satin transparencies. The blue-tinged, pink, and ivory tones interact calmly and elegantly, while the spontaneous lines drawn with pastel pencils and oil bring movement, emotion, and a nearly poetic character.

The mid-grain texture with gold pigments is one of the most special elements of the piece. The work subtly changes with the daylight and the angle from which it is viewed: the golds vibrate, pearlescent glints appear, and the surface gains depth and its own life. I was specifically drawn to that sense of living paint, capable of transforming with the viewer’s gaze.

During the process I deeply enjoyed creating this piece. It was work done from intuition, the pleasure of discovering new materials, and the freedom to let myself be surprised by each layer and each gesture. I believe that luminous, positive energy remains inside the piece and is transmitted very naturally.

Unique work, entirely handmade in my studio.
