“Shanti”, this painting shows a young woman holding a Buddha head in a serene attitude, representing peace, calm and harmony both internally and externally. The vertical composition and the golden halo surrounding the young woman’s head add an idea of ​​transcendence and connects her with Shanti or divine peace. “Shanti” in Sanskrit means “peace”, both in the sense of inner tranquility and external harmony. It is a key term in Eastern spiritual philosophies such as Hinduism and Buddhism, where inner peace is a desired state that arises from meditation, balance and a deep understanding of life. This work combines elements of different artistic styles and spiritual traditions. There is a explicit homage to classical Renaissance aesthetics, but also a fusion with Eastern spiritual symbology such as Byzantine painting or Japanese Rinpa. The artwork has a timeless and mystical character, being at the same time decorative and profound in its symbolism.

My passion for drawing and art comes from my first childhood memories. I would spend hours drawing and coloring, creating my own world on paper. I was fascinated by the endless possibilities that a simple pencil and a piece of paper could offer. My love for art only grew as I grew older, and I knew that I wanted to turn my passion into my profession. I had the great fortune to win an important scholarship at the “Escuela de Grabado” of the “Real Casa de la Moneda (FNMT-RCM)” in Madrid, Spain, where I studied various techniques and styles for four years. I learned about drawing, painting, engraving, lithography, modeling… and how to use different media to express myself creatively. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, as I was constantly pushing myself to improve and find my own voice as an artist. After finishing my higher studies at the Madrid School of Art, where I obtained a Bachelor of Art with a specialty in Graphic Design, I started working as an independent artist and for 15 years I have been the Creative Director of my own Graphic Design Firm, something that It has always influenced my work, incorporating geometric, graphic or typographic elements into it. Today, I am proud to say that I have become an accomplished artist, pursuing my lifelong dream of creating and sharing my vision with others. I am grateful for the journey I have been on, and I am excited to continue growing as an artist and exploring new avenues for my work. My love for art will always be a constant in my life, and I am grateful for the opportunities it has brought me.
