My passion for art began at a young age, but it wasn't until 2015 that I began my career as a self-taught artist guided by the inspiration reading, videos,online information. My pictures are the resault of my interest, my passion, my curiosity and desire to learn, In the beginning, my painting was realistic: landscapes, still lifes... Little by little I began to explore more modern techniques and styles. My work is a mix of styles, ranging from classic to modern. My goal is to have the elements of design, color and texture unleash a sense of emotion for the viewer. My inspiration can be a scene in the street, a picture I saw or took, an emotion I lived, a television documentary Painting portraits is where I try to capture part of the soul and feelings of the people The painters I most admire are the Spanish classics: Velazquez, Goya as well as Sorolla for their magnificent work of light in their works and finally Dali and Picasso
