Description
About artist: Born in Valencia (Spain), I graduated in Fine Arts by the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain in 2021. My passion for painting goes back many years, though. I have been attending classes since I was a kid and I found out very early my current mean of work: the oil paint.
At the age of 23, I have carried out nearly 10 exhibition projects, solo and collective, in cities from Spain as Valencia, Castellon or Toledo.
In 2019, I had the chance to study for a year in the Fine Arts Academy of Florence, Italy. That experience changed nourished me in a personal and artistic way.
After graduating, I decided to change my life and I moved to Ireland with the objective of developing myself as an artist in a new country and facing new challenges.
Almost one year after moving, I’m working in my new project, but I also have discovered my second passion: teaching and sharing art with people. On May I organised my first oil painting workshop and it was one of the best experiences I have lived since I moved in. For November, I made it to run my own weekly art classes.
About artwork: My artworks tended to focus during the last years on the figurative portrait, updating it in form and concept, to reflect about the problems of our society together with my everyday life. But a portrait doesn’t have to be always a face. Light and darkness live together in a space that embraces both. It’s not an empty and cold darkness. It has a warm atmosphere enclosed by the silence of an early morning. Even if we seem to be lost in the void, it’s actually a filled space. It builds up through all the people that have been there, all the moments there lived, all the situations and decisions that made us to be here right now: me, painting that room, you, reading about it. It is a painting about all the things that there happened in the last 12 months and that lead me to feel so peaceful and calm in that right moment the sun was raising just some weeks ago. So it has, somehow, a bit of a self-portrait.
