Purple Haze Painting

I am inspired by the small things in life that make us smile. The feeling of the sun on our skin, saltwater in our hair and the smell of the plants as we move through the mountains. I want to invite us to calm down, breathe in, and connect with nature and our innermost selves. I paint the zen like beauty of everyday life, focusing on the light and movement that fall upon the human body. Women like me are my main subject as they bask in the spirit of nature and become a part of it. We keep our face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind us. My journey began from a young age. I've been creating for as long as I can remember. Dipping in and out of different mediums, I settled on painting as my main form of expression in 2013. On my way here I studied Art and finished with a Fine Art degree. A few years later I decided to travel and see the world, working in Austra, Switzerland and Australia. This made me appreciate life and expand as both a person and Artist. I've always loved the outdoors, and over the years noticed how it was something I couldn't live without. Running and exploring my local countryside made me feel alive. In 2017 yoga became a part of my life. First as a way to stay fit and injury free, but after, it became much more. It was a way for me to connect with the world, a way to live in the present moment. Today I live in the south of Spain. I spend my mornings outside climbing or moving through the mountains. If the afternoon and evenings I paint. Using large brushes I put my energy to canvas, leaving a part of me and my experiences for all to see and feel. I build layer upon layer, slowly bringing forward strength and elegance in each portrait. My hope is that my art will serve as a reminder of the beauty and serenity that is available to us, if only we take the time to pause and appreciate it all.
