Cabbage Print

Born on the beautiful island of Menorca (Balearic Islands) since I was little, I was curious about painting and I spent the entire recesses of primary school watching my teacher who painted outdoors while I ate my snack, the idea was floating around in my head that one day I would also paint outdoors like her. Later I used to copy and draw all my favorite comic heroes, gunfighters and so on. I made my first oil works when I was 16 years old when I bought my first paints and brushes with my savings, then as the man at the fine arts store always told me that I should do fine arts, in the end and after my military service I left from my beloved island to get to Paris (I only spoke Spanish, English and Catalan (no French) but my enthusiasm was so great that I managed to pass the entrance to the ENSBA ( (École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts) ) in Paris where I studied painting for 5 years to obtain the diploma with mention of the jury. I continued living in Paris (9 years) and later moved to the Burgundy region where I painted landscapes and portraits while teaching painting classes to children and adults and raising a family. When my mother fell ill when she was older, my family and I returned to Menorca to take care of her and I am painting landscapes of the island again. I have had several exhibitions and won some awards, but for me, the important thing is to continue painting.
