I have always been very interested in art and culture, especially in painting and music .... so when I paint it’s important I’m surrounded by music, and that this is evident in my strokes and in the composition of my work... some paintings are very funky, others have a “soul”, there are jazzy ones and of course there is no shortage of classics.

I have been lucky enough to receive influences from different cultures, such as the Philippines, Spanish, North American, Venezuelan, North European, and some others, which are noticeable in the colors I use and in the themes. And when this is mixed with a creative home environment where different family members (grandparents, uncles, parents, etc.) have also been engaged in painting or similar, it's no wonder that painting became part of my world, one of my passions and ended up being used to create my own works.

My studio is next to Madrid, near its “sierra” or mountains. As a painter, I don't have any preference regarding format, although I find large and medium formats more comfortable to paint. Acrylic paint best fits my way of painting, but I'm always experimenting with new textures or mixtures.

In my works, I try to convey my experiences and perceptions of the colors, shapes...
