I am a visual artist, photographer, and art therapist. My artistic practice explores the invisible threads that connect human experience to the natural world and the vastness of the Cosmos. I see art as a form of visual meditation and transformation: a language that bridges the material and the spiritual, the tangible and the symbolic.

My artistic practice emerges from an inner quest, shaped by an early encounter with the fragility of existence and a deep fascination with the liminal: borderlands, in-between spaces and territories where cultures, identities and worldviews intersect. A near-death experience in early childhood awakened a spiritual sensibility that continues to guide my work. 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 perceiving and inhabiting the world.
My academic background in Art History and the Conservation and Restoration of Antique Paintings drew me towards the memory embedded in artworks, the traces of time and the expressive potential of materials. Later, my studies in Art Therapy revealed a deeper connection between the restoration of pictorial matter and processes of inner transformation. The interplay between the material and immaterial, the visible and invisible, remains at the heart of my artistic language.
Having lived across Europe and South America, I have been shaped by landscapes and cultures marked by historical encounters and layered identities. My experiences in the Andes and Patagonia, in particular, brought me into contact with Indigenous cosmologies that profoundly influenced my understanding of the sacred bond between humanity and the Earth. The Andean conception of Pachamama, and the Mapuche cosmovision, rooted in the interconnectedness and reciprocity of all forms of existence, have expanded my perception of reality as a multidimensional continuum, in which the earthly, the spiritual and the cosmic are deeply intertwined. These perspectives continue to inform my artistic practice, in which creation becomes an act of communion with the natural world and an exploration of the deeper, often invisible dimensions of existence.
Today, based in Mijas, Southern Andalusia, I draw inspiration from the layered legacy of Al-Andalus and the historical frontier (la frontera), a territory shaped by the encounter, coexistence and transformation of cultures, religions and worldviews. At the crossroads of Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, this landscape echoes my enduring fascination with liminal spaces. Through photography and visual creation, I seek to transform matter into a space of contemplation, where the visible opens onto the invisible and artistic practice becomes an invitation to reconnect with our shared humanity and the deeper dimensions of existence.
