Victoria de Samotracia Drawing

I am mainly a self taught artist. I have been living in Spain for most of my life. The intense light, bright blue skies and distorted olive trees often being an inspiration for the background in my pictures. My work relates my innermost feelings and state of mind at specific moments of my life. They are drawn in a surrealistic style using lead graphite and pastel. Occasionally I introduce collage to enhance different parts. My art is as though it were a theatrical stage setting fixed in time. My portraits have a serene composed style undoubtedly due to my fascination of Italian Renassaince Portraiture.
