Description:

This work was born from a moment of inspiration in Barcelona, strolling along Las Ramblas, one of those promenades 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, 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 above the surface. I worked with very soft glazes, letting the colors blend slowly into ethereal and silky transparencies. The bluish, pink, and ivory tones dialogue with each other calmly and elegantly, while the spontaneous lines drawn with pastel pencils and oil provide movement, emotion, and a nearly poetic character.

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

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

Unique work entirely handmade in my studio.
