No mirror / intermission / fashion illustration Painting

I am an artist based in Spain. I majored in Art, Film directing, Styling, Illustrator and Production design. Over the years my artworks were featured in European and American Art-magazines. Haute couture, as the embodiment of handcraft and talent, always stays with me and nourishes me. Sometimes it seems that nothing can serve as good inspiration as some interesting fashion items: their history, form, texture like ghosts come to me when I'm working and ask me to use them, imprint in my artwork. This often pushes me to create a comedy, sometimes ridiculously grotesque plot through which the tragedy of a person's experiences and anxieties, struggles with himself, and circumstances will be most vividly and acutely felt. ​ I am interested in tearing off the character's mask opposite the mirror when a person is left alone with himself and his thoughts, yearnings, feelings. I use sexuality and nudity as a tool to show vulnerability, insecurity, and at the same time, passion, and thirst for life, which are eternally inseparable. With the help of chamber scenes in which the characters are left alone with their inner emotions, I want to talk about different degrees of accepting oneself and overcoming human complexes, pains, fears, which on the one hand make you feel vulnerable and helpless, and on the other, harden you and make you stronger. The character can be best described as sparkling, unshakable, unchanging, honest, sexy, vulnerable, inaccessible, baroque, pure, lurking, conjuring, initiating a secret, gentle vampire or Chinatown drag-queen, a pathetic and funny native of the Middle Ages, trying to hide behind the modern creations of the luxury segment and protected by them from the evil eye or his own memories. He is Mary Magdalene or Saint Sebastian, suffering and giving peace. An earthly angel, attracting the viewers with his perfect and sexy look, nevertheless being untouchable for those that keep his wings in a Birkin Bag. This is what I have in mind when creating the image of my character. I grew up in the tradition of the North German Renaissance. German music, literature, painting, culture, and language have greatly influenced me, as well as the formation of my style. The basic principles I use when creating my paintings are those of Baroque, Renaissance, and interior design. Architecture plays a primary role because it is based on stone and the golden ratio.
