Primavera Painting

I have always felt fascination towards the nautical world. Sea, wind and movement. I see the frailty of human beings subdued to the forces of nature, the effort made by people who navigate; the determination and perseverance to gain control of the dark forces of the ocean. It is the reflection of our everyday struggle for life. I began painting through this proposal 20 years ago. I became fascinated about what I made because it was a metaphor of everything that flows; like life, a constant energy run, an impulse. What best than taking out what´s inside of us! The sea is turbulent; a way of expressing the currents of life and its proof. These waves are constantly bombarding us and we have to hold on to something. To me, that something is represented by masts, sails, what gives us stability. A ship represents a house for me, and the wind blows the connection with our own spirituality into our ears. I work a lot from intuition. I am surprised by things and small details, the perilous behavior of painting. I have thousands of pictures, but have recorded everything in my retina. I know masts, rope, and water. I have also explored human figures and portraits, but it is the sea is what delivers a deep peace to me.
