I am a figurative painter because I find the faces, nudes and human figure in general, something fascinating and an endless source of inspiration.

I am also seduced by the very special atmosphere and landscapes of Mallorca which I have often reflected in my paintings.

Another source of ideas I find in the objects of the everyday life around me or flowers that I collect to later include in my still lifes.

I try to express the bright light of the Mediterranean and the joy and mystery of life through strong, bright and contrasting colour, which I consider a source of vibration and energy, which creates a magical atmosphere where normal things seem to have another dimension and invite to fantasy.

I paint with a technique of mixed media, in which I make my own colours with natural pigments and construct the picture using many overlapping layers that allow transparencies which give a sense of atmosphere and depth that plays with the eyes of the observer.

I consider my paintings are on the line of the Fauvism and Expressionism because of the figurative subject and the arbitrary use of strong colours, although deriving from it and bringing it to a personal and contemporary approach.

I was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1965, in a family with long tradition in art which gave me the opportunity at a very early age to sculpt and paint in the family workshop. At the age of 20 I settled to live in the countryside with my own 'atelier', and since then dedicate myself exclusively to art. In order to widen my knowledge I attended very specialised courses of artistic anatomy, painting drawing from live model, first in Barcelona, later in London and finally several years in the 'Ecole de Beaux Arts' in Paris.
