Where are you from? 

I´m from Barcelona, Spain. 

An artist you´d invite to dinner.

Michell Lott, Joao Gilberto & Jack Nicolson.

Describe your art in three words.

Decorative, colorful, harmonic.

How do you stay inspired?

I am very inspired by the contours of buildings, light, shadows and the appearance of colors. I am fascinated by the power of color to attract and connect with the viewer.

How did the quarantine affect your creative process?

Quarantine helped me a lot because suddenly I could have time to paint more than ever so I start to paint not just for my clients, I was painting for myself enjoying the process of creativity and reconnecting with myself. It has been a self-discovering process.

What 3 films would you take with you on a deserted island?

Captain Fantastic, Soul, and Intouchables. 

How has your art evolved over the past three years? 

Since I started painting (almost one year ago) I try to paint with simple shapes, sectorised by blocks of color that, through the combination of them, seek to generate an experience/emotion through observation, looking for a harmonious and balanced result. Nowadays I would define my work within geometric abstract art using the hard-edge technique. Abstraction, and especially minimalism, offer my imagination unlimited opportunities. I don’t try to convey a message with my paintings, but emotion is what I am looking for, paintings in harmony with their environment, with the space.

Did you always want to be an artist?

I have always been very interested in design and beauty. To feel good with me I need to be in harmonic and balanced space. Good lighting, a functional space, to observe something beautiful is very important for me so this is why I have dedicated so many years to designing interior spaces. To be an artist was not in my plans but it came naturally and as a necessity for me and my clients to bring color and soul in their spaces in an economical way.

What has been the most difficult thing to overcome as a professional artist?

Self doubt and self criticism are thoughts that can paralyse your creativity. And when we want to create for others, it becomes confusing and difficult. Creativity is something that comes from within, so it is important to believe in oneself. To create without fearing failure is what makes us progress. You have to fight for “the reason that makes you get up every morning and be happy”, to get out of your comfort zone and be honest with yourself and others. But above all, enjoy the process, life is a constant learning process.

How do you get over a creative block?

In my case, I need to be in contact with nature because it helps to inspire me and disconnect from the routine. I try to dedicate a few days to other different subjects and so when you go back to where you got stuck you come back with another look, with another much fresher and creative approach.
