I started painting about fifteen years ago shortly after I moved from New York to the suburbs. Soon making art became my way to communicate what I have seen and experienced in my life, all the colors, smells, food, textures, and styles. Spain, where I grew up, a country of vivid colors and contrasts, with its rich history, architecture, art, cuisine, unquestionably found its way into my work as well as nature and uncommon places.
I tend to create abstract landscapes that are not specific locales but imagined places. In my creative process I gradually trim away elements in search of the essence of things and lean towards minimal expression with monochromatic palette and open spaces.
