Through quick, spontaneous strokes and, on occasions, with an abundant load of material – impasto – are highlighted different chromaticisms and geometries forming a composition, in which the main element acquires a great prominence, wrapped in an enveloping atmosphere.

The titles of the works thus become the best explanation and description of them, where the purpose lies in transmitting emotions to the observer through a lively, direct, abstract painting loaded with great symbolism.

It is, therefore, about pieces carried out by means of a brief brushstroke and without premeditation, but subjectively reflecting an idea located in the depths of the mind.

I learned the oil painting technique at an early age – nine years old -, at an academy of fine arts in Segovia (Spain), my hometown, where I was enrolled for several years. Since then, I have made paintings for family and friends, while developing the technique in a self-taught way, going through various styles of painting.

In November 2019, I decided to make a pictorial series composed of twenty pieces with an abstract style, but always giving each work its own meaning. This series entitled "the twenty oil paintings" has been recently exhibited at the Backyard Arte Gallery (Valladolid, Spain) from 02/05/22 to 02/28/22.

The repercussion of this last exhibition has been remarkable, appearing through articles in art magazines of national reference (Spain) such as "Descubrir el Arte", "GAL-Art" or "Revistart". Thus, as well as in chronicles published in local and regional newspapers.
