About The Artwork

In these works I work with the limits between the disciplines of painting and sculpture, giving painting a three-dimensional sense with that cutout of a silhouette. It is the empty space of a mother in some occasions, of a son in others. This represents in a literal sense the emptiness left in the heart of a mother by the loss of a child, irrecoverable, as well as for a son the loss of his mother, who is everything to him when he comes into this world. We know that this mother is going to lose a son completely, because he will be killed a few months later. In the case of that child, he is left alone and helpless until the day of his bitter end. A life too short and too sad. With these works of art I show the reality of animal exploitation, the suffering not only physical, but also emotional and psychological that this industry produces in millions of lives. And that the viewer knows the reality, and the consequences of financing these practices. So that he/she can freely decide if he/she wants to contribute to this.

I feel that every day there is a growing disconnect between human beings and their own origins and environment. We are not separate from other beings and elements; we are part of a whole. My intention is to create clear messages that can be easily interpreted by viewers, to reach many people and raise greater social awareness about the importance of caring for and respecting other animals. I seek to expose how we harm animals both directly and indirectly (industries that profit at the expense of their suffering, pollution, and the extinction of wild species). Most of my works are paintings, although sometimes I feel the need to express myself through sculpture or other mediums. My language is figurative, capturing the world as I see it in my works. I paint animals, and the human being is indirectly represented through their footprint. For me, visual language is a natural form of expression. This, combined with my need to create with my own hands, has led me to practice visual arts since I was young. My work is focused on exploring the boundaries between painting and sculpture, creating pieces that merge both disciplines. They are paintings on three-dimensional supports, where space gives meaning to the works. They are no longer a two-dimensional window through which the viewer peers, but an object to explore that relates to its environment. I grew up in Valdemoro (Madrid), and I graduated in Fine Arts in 2013. I worked as a graphic designer for a few years, but my interest in art and nature led me to specialize in scientific illustration (2018). In the same year, I moved with my partner to Gijón (Asturias), where we started a family, and later began teaching workshops on painting, drawing, and art entrepreneurship. Currently, I am exclusively dedicated to my art and represented by a gallery in Asturias: Bea Villamarín. Art is a powerful tool for social transformation, and that is how I work with it.
