My work grows out of personal experience. I begin with memories, emotions and lived moments, using the intimate as a way of transforming personal experiences into something shared and universal.
I am particularly interested in moments of suspension, those instants when we sense that something is about to change or disappear, yet is still present. Through them, I explore vulnerability, memory, the passage of time and the silent transformations that shape human experience.
Animals and objects often become emotional presences within my paintings. Animals, in particular, allow me to approach the human condition indirectly: not as fixed symbols, but as open presences that invite an emotional connection with the viewer.
My background in mural painting at Escola Llotja and photography at the IEFC has shaped a hybrid process in which I combine photography, drawing and digital tools to develop compositions before translating them into oil painting.
