I like to create energy and motion by contrasting bright colors, heavy brushstrokes, and unusual shapes and textures.
Many people who view my work tell me it makes them happy. My lack of formal art training has enabled me to think and paint “out of the box” in regards to composition, textures, and colors.
I have been in a number of national and international exhibitions which include Van Der Plas Gallery, SITE Gallery, 440 Gallery, and Greenfield Gallery in NYC, La Galleria Pall Mall in London, and Chie Gallery in Milan Italy. I have exhibited at Saatchgi-The Other Art Fair in Chicago and will be exhibiting in the Saatchi -Los Angeles exhibition in Spring of this year. In 2019 I was one of twenty finalists for the Art Takes Manhattan Competition.

Catalan artist and architect, I live and work in Barcelona.
My works try to express social and emotional diversity through the face.
Over the years I have moved between styles and formats, but I have always worked with the same theme: facial portrait. I work mainly with acrylics on canvas and paper, although some pieces are made with charcoal, oil, pastel and inks.
My stylistic influences include abstraction and expressionism. The range of anonymous faces runs on the identity of the characters. I try to express through facial features, looks and gestures, the nuances, complexity and contrasts of the emotional state of the subjects as a reflection of the mood and essential human aspects.
