Professional Profile

A painter specializing in oil on canvas, my work focuses on the representation of female gazes and faces in gold and silver tones, incorporating materials such as beach sand. My creations seek to convey stories and profound emotions, exploring diversity and the essence of humanity. I am currently focused on the "Depths" collection, a series of realistic oil and acrylic paintings oriented towards the marine world and its mysterious secrets.

I have exhibited my work in galleries and cultural centers in Spain and other countries, and my work has been acquired by private collectors. I also teach painting workshops to share my knowledge and experience with other artists and enthusiasts.
