2020 was an unutterable year, a year that put us all to the test, a long distance race without winner and with so many defeated... A chimeric year that ripped off our freedom while strangely buying us some time... During the confinement I found the opportunity to surrender to the world of art, to unleash a creativity that I had not fully embraced until then... I felt the need to express myself, to turn my experiences into works that embodied the importance of LIGHT, POSITIVE ENERGY and the FREEDOM that had been taken away from us.<\/p>\n

After 25 years as Executive Director in the fashion and luxury sectors, I decided to embark on this project that I had been nurturing for quite some time, and it was this recent period of deep concern that became the revulsive I needed to start this journey. And from my deep optimism and the desire to keep on evolving, I opened myself to the \"unconfinable\" universe of art, to which I have always been linked (my father used to take me to museums every weekend when I was a child).<\/p>\n

This is how I managed to turn to my creative vocation, with a sensitivity for contemporary art and today's fascinating society in which transparency is a leading factor. All this, coupled with the personality of someone who is convinced that attention to detail is vital.<\/p>\n

Living in Spain has turned light into a key factor in my life. I am passionate about light tones, blue skies, luminosity, the sun and its warm flashes...<\/p>\n

During the months of confinement, I took to seating in the area of greatest natural light in my house and I began to draw... Weeks later I decided to run some tests and marvelled that I had managed to capture in a work exactly what I had been feeling.<\/p>\n

I work with dichroic glass embedded in lacquered wood, from which my designs take on light, a light that changes its hue depending on the reflections it receives. Under these lighting conditions, the glass emits the soft and ever changing flashes of the rainbow in pastel colors.<\/p>\n

My works spread echoes of freedom, thanks to the glaring brightness that flows through the crystals, transmitting positive energy and my desire to share with the world that there is always a way out.<\/p>\n

The biggest challenge I have encountered so far has been precisely how to show the breadth of the visual impact of my work, as it metamorphoses and multiplies under natural light.<\/p>\n
