One-of-a-kind circular reliefs—quietly monumental, richly tactile, handmade in Barcelona!

I am a Barcelona-based mural sculptor working at the intersection of textile structure, clay relief, and acrylic painting. My practice centers on circular wall sculptures—tactile, meditative works that explore texture, rhythm, and spatial presence.

Each piece begins with knots, cords, and tension as a textile foundation. I then build multiple layers of clay and veils of pigment, allowing curing and finishing stages to shape the final surface. The result is a sculptural skin with depth and density—one that responds to changing light and reveals detail over time. The circle returns throughout my work as a symbolic center: a contained geometry that anchors the gaze and invites calm, contemplation, and stillness.

All artworks are original, one-of-a-kind pieces (1/1), never reproduced. Alongside my collections, I create site-specific and custom projects for private residences, interior designers, hotels, restaurants, and corporate spaces, adapting scale, palette, and relief language to each environment.

I work from my studio in Barcelona and ship internationally.

I received my formal artistic training in Fine Arts, developing a strong foundation in drawing, painting, and sculptural processes. Over time, my practice evolved toward contemporary mural sculpture and relief-based work, combining traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary visual language.

My education has been complemented by continuous studio practice, research into material behavior, and hands-on experimentation with textile structures, clay, and surface treatments.
