I am also excited to announce that I have been accepted to Hunter College for an MFA and hope to attend this fall. I am ecstatic about the opportunity to experiment and create a whole new body of work! All profits made through my etsy store and other art sales will be used to support my degree. I thank you in advance for supporting a painter :)

♦ ABOUT ME...
I am originally from Spain, but have been living and working in the Boston area for several years now. I make art and try and get it out there. I participate in art fairs, shows and gallery exhibitions. Etsy has become a great way to reach more people so if you like what you see, spread the word!
♦ THE ART...
The miniature paintings series is one which I started back in 2007. They are all framed and vary from realistic portraits, to surreal little heads. No matter what, I think they all convey a very specific type of emotion and show my love for color.
The letter Collage series consists of letters in which I replace literal words with color. Words are not necessary to convey an emotion or idea, color is enough :) These take an extremely long time to make so listings will be fewer, but stay tuned :)
The drawings focus on movement and spatial relationships. They are about "feeling" the lines rather than illustrating them. They are very affordable and there is a wide range of poses and detail to choose from.
I am also available for commissions; paintings or collages. There is no limitations and I'm always interested in a challenge! Also, if you see a piece that you love, but feel you can't pay upfront, email me. I allow payment in installments if that is easier for you.
♦ THANK YOU!
I appreciate you taking time to look at my work I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to let others know and if you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to ask.
All the best
