Share a glimpse of your artistic journey
With my backpack on and canvas under my arm, I walk attentively, engaging in a quiet dialogue with the environment until the moment feels right to begin painting.
If I paint, then it is only from my own experience and observation. I am a plein air painter, and I’ve discovered something very special about working on location. It is a form of meditation in which I surrender to the environment, quiet my thoughts, and open myself to the energy of that place.

That is why I chose to travel: to see new landscapes, meet people from different cultures, and gather new experiences. Since graduating from the Barcelona Academy of Art, I have been traveling and capturing my impressions on canvas. Along the way, I have been learning to experience my journey in a deeper way — slowing down, paying closer attention, and noticing more. I believe that the experience always comes first, and the painting is the outcome of it.

​

What is the source of your inspiration?
Of course, some places may seem more interesting than others. But in the end, it doesn’t really matter where I am, with whom, or what I do. What truly matters is how deeply I experience the moment. The more attention I pay to my surroundings and to myself, the stronger the emotions become — and with them, the need to express these emotions through painting.

​

What challenges have shaped you the most?
One of the greatest challenges has been doing what others told me not to do, or what they considered unrealistic. These moments force me to find my own way, set my own parameters, and trust myself.

I have often been told not to travel to certain places because they were too hot or too dangerous, not to use oil paints on the road, not to climb a mountain, not to go alone. Yet these are exactly the moments in which I discover my strength and my freedom.

​

What message do you wish your art leaves behind?
There is only one message I wish to leave behind: that there is beauty everywhere. It only needs our attention.
