Hola! I am a painter from Spain based in Summit, New Jersey.

Reflecting on the memories that shaped my childhood I look back at growing up in Mallorca with the freedom of exploring nature around our home, and what an impact it has on the art I make today. I was lucky to have parents who allowed me adopt anything from crabs and snails to dogs, cats and hedgehogs, which are recurrent characters in my work.

My inspiration always begins with observing plants and animals around me, their colors, textures, and shapes always spark the first idea.
