I am a painter born on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, of Spanish and Norwegian heritage, and based in New York. My work emerges from the tension between warmth and restraint, between the symbolic density of the Mediterranean and the quiet light of the North.
I paint women, objects, and landscapes not as they appear, but as they are felt. My images are rooted in observation, memory, and lineage, exploring the space where the sacred meets the everyday. Female figures often appear still and frontal, echoing early Renaissance devotional imagery, yet softened by the atmospheric sensitivity of late Impressionism. They function less as portraits and more as archetypes, carriers of inner states and inherited histories.
My practice draws from early Renaissance structure and symbolism alongside the perceptual freedom and intimacy of late Impressionism. Still life objects such as fruit, vessels, mirrors, and bottles become symbolic extensions of the body. A pear becomes a back. A reflection holds time. The domestic becomes mythic.
Painting is an act of listening. I work slowly and often from life, allowing proportion, tonality, and light to guide the emotional gravity of the image. Through this process, the mundane becomes charged and silence gains form.
My work seeks to honor softness without fragility and strength without spectacle. It is an ongoing meditation on presence, womanhood, and the quiet power of being seen for who I am.
