ABOUT

I was born in Barcelona and I currently live in Washington DC.

 

I started painting at the studio of the local artist Mily Munoz when I was 16, and I have not really stopped since.

 

My work has followed my personal life very closely.

​

My travels are my main source of inspiration. Australia, Vietnam, Mexico, the US and China are among the places that have influenced me the most.  I have been lucky to live in some of these countries for long periods of time which has given me a deeper insight into their culture and mentality.

​

Whenever I feel something special I try to express it in my paintings, mostly watercolors, my favorite technique.

​

I am preparing my first 'solo' exhibition in California.  "Transitions" will show my paths through some of the most amazing and inspirational places I have been lucky to experience.

​

I have exhibited my paintings in several galleries, in Los Angeles (California),  Cardedeu, Sitges, Barcelona, Mataro, Granollers and la Garriga (in Spain) and Sydney and Melbourne (in Australia) and I received an award in the 2nd Concurs de Pintura Rapida of Cardedeu (Competition of Fast Painting), in 2010.

​

I have also illustrated 4 books, my last one being turned into a TV cartoon for a Spanish national TV channel.
