ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I grew up in Uruguay, Latin America. Tango dancing was part of the culture and often danced at home and street parties. Tango is a very dramatic and ritualistic dance. From the different steps to the dress, and from the poses to the interchange of body language, everything means something. The story is that this dance was brought to Argentina and Uruguay by Italian immigrants and that men used it to attract females as the latter were in short supply!

Born in Barcelona of Catalan parents, I have lived in Spain and Latin America before moving to England. My training was at Central St Martins and Putney School of Art. I started painting in 1997 and in 2003 I resigned my post as Probation Office to dedicate myself to my art. For me each painting is a challenge and an adventure. Close observation of life and nature, the details and subtle variations in colour, light and shadow, is what compels me to paint. Through the use of many thin layers of high pigment oil paint, my aim is to render a translucent and luminous painting which gives the viewer the illusion of high realism. I exhibit in the UK and abroad and my work is found in private and corporate collections in this country and internationally. In 2008 I was awarded the prestigious ING Maynell Fenton Price.
