As a fine art oil and mixed media painter, my work captures a sense of peaceful serenity and emotive depth. Drawing inspiration from the details of my surroundings, I use color to symbolize a range of emotions and truths in my artwork. My pieces blend a realistic representational style with imaginative embellishment through pouring techniques, creating a unique visual experience. I am particularly drawn to peaceful subjects and pay close attention to light and composition to create cohesive and harmonious compositions. As an artist, woman, and immigrant creative born in Jerez, Spain and now living in Aurora, Colorado, my cultural background and personal experiences infuse my art with a unique perspective
Art has the power to enrich our lives and bring beauty into the world, even during difficult times. As an artist, I strive to create works that inspire tranquility and bring a sense of calm to those who view them. My art is a reflection of my passion and connection to nature, and the process of creation itself is a source of serenity for me. In a world that can often feel uncertain and anxiety-inducing, I hope my art serves as a reminder of the timeless, universal desire for beauty and peace.
