I perceive art as a sacred portal — a way of entering into dialogue with the invisible forces that connect human existence to the natural world and the vastness of the Cosmos. Through visual creation, photography and art therapy, I explore the subtle threads linking matter and spirit, memory and transformation, the earthly and the cosmic. For me, art is a form of visual meditation: a language through which the visible can reveal the invisible, and the act of creation becomes a journey towards a deeper understanding of existence.
My lifelong curiosity about the mysteries of life, the fragility of existence and the territories that lie beyond ordinary perception has shaped a journey across cultures, landscapes and inner worlds. A near-death experience in early childhood awakened a spiritual sensibility that continues to inform my perception of reality and my artistic practice. Since then, I have been drawn towards the liminal — borderlands, thresholds and in-between spaces where cultures, identities and worldviews meet, dissolve and transform. I perceive movement and displacement as ways of knowing, and the crossing of geographical and inner boundaries as a form of pilgrimage towards alternative ways of seeing and inhabiting the world.
My path has unfolded through different disciplines and encounters. My academic background in Art History and the Conservation and Restoration of Antique Paintings introduced me to the memory held within artworks, the traces of time and the expressive potential of materials. Later, my studies in Art Therapy revealed profound parallels between the restoration of pictorial matter and processes of inner transformation. The relationship between the material and immaterial, the visible and invisible, remains at the heart of my artistic language.
Alongside my artistic journey, my long-standing engagement with internal martial arts and Taoist philosophy has shaped my understanding of the body, nature and the interconnected forces underlying existence. The principles of Yin and Yang, and the interplay of movement and stillness, have become an integral part of my personal and artistic research.
Having lived across Europe and South America, I have also been deeply influenced by the Indigenous cosmologies of the Andes and Patagonia. The Andean conception of Pachamama and the Mapuche understanding of the interconnectedness and reciprocity of all forms of life have expanded my perception of the sacred relationship between Humanity, the Earth and the Cosmos. Together, these Eastern and Indigenous perspectives continue to inform my vision of existence as an interconnected whole, where creation becomes an act of communion with the natural world.
Today, based in Mijas, Southern Andalusia, I continue this exploration from a landscape shaped by centuries of cultural encounter and transformation. The layered legacy of Al-Andalus and the historical notion of la frontera resonate deeply with my enduring fascination for thresholds and territories of transition. At the crossroads of Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, this region embodies the meeting of different histories, religions and worldviews — a living landscape of coexistence, exchange and transformation.
Through photography and visual creation, I investigate the relationship between landscape, memory, matter and perception. I am drawn to the traces left by time, the presence of the ephemeral and the subtle correspondences between the microcosm and the macrocosm. My practice seeks to create spaces of contemplation in which boundaries become permeable and different dimensions of reality can meet.
Ultimately, my artistic journey is an ongoing inquiry into the mystery of interconnectedness — an exploration of the invisible presence that moves through all forms of life. It is both an inward pilgrimage and an outward encounter with the world; an invitation to rediscover our place within the greater web of existence and reconnect with the sacred dimension of being human.
