Description:

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

I wanted to create a delicate and atmospheric painting, where light would seem to float over the surface. I worked with very soft glazes, letting the colors blend slowly into ethereal and silky transparencies. The blue-toned, pink, and ivory tones dialogue with each other calmly and elegantly, while the spontaneous lines made with pastel pencils and oil contribute movement, emotion, and an almost-poetic character.

The medium-grain texture with gold pigments is one of the piece's most special elements. The work subtly changes depending on the daylight and the angle from which it is viewed: the golds vibrate, pearly flashes appear, and the surface gains depth and life of its own. I was particularly interested in that sensation of living painting, capable of transforming with the viewer's gaze.

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

Unique work entirely handmade in my studio.
