Paintings of the moment before one thing becomes another — a face beginning to surface, a mask half lifted, a season about to turn.
Paintings of the moment before one thing becomes another — a face beginning to surface, a mask half lifted, a season about to turn.
My paintings move between four ongoing series — bodies losing their edges in water, women held between myth and mirror, quiet still lifes that hold their breath in between, and landscapes painted straight from the coast and countryside.
I trained through a mix of formal instruction and self-directed study — including four years of full-time classical training at the Barcelona Academy of Art — and I've been painting seriously for the better part of a decade. Technically, I work within a representational tradition. What interests me most is the place where that control gives way.
