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 personal and artistic journey is shaped by an inner quest and a profound attraction to borderlands, places of cultural convergence, and the different Souths of the world. Following a near-death experience in early childhood, spirituality became the guiding thread of a journey that has led me to inhabit and explore diverse geographies, understanding movement and displacement as forms of knowledge and pilgrimage towards alternative ways of experiencing and understanding existence.
My academic background in Art History and the Restoration of Antique Paintings brought me closer to the memory embedded in artworks, the traces of time, and the sensitivity of materials. Later, my studies in Art Therapy expanded this perspective, establishing a connection between the restoration of pictorial matter and the inner transformation of the human being.
I have lived in several places whose cultural identities have profoundly shaped my own artistic language: Venice, with its rich legacy of encounters between East and West; Trieste, where Mediterranean, Central European and Eastern European cultures converge; Nice, at the cultural crossroads of France and Italy; and Extremadura, a landscape shaped by the shared histories and traditions of Spain and Portugal. My journey also took me through creative communities and artistic environments such as 59Rivoli in Paris and the former industrial district of Poblenou in Barcelona, before leading me towards a deeper exploration of the Global South.
An essential part of this quest has unfolded in South America, particularly in the Andes and Patagonia. I have travelled across Argentina from north to south, immersing myself in its Indigenous cultures, their worldviews, and their spiritual relationship with the land. My encounters with Andean Indigenous traditions, the concept of Pachamama, and the native cultures of Patagonia have enriched my understanding of nature as a living organism and of artistic creation as an act of connection with the sacred.
Today, I develop my artistic practice in Southern Andalusia, a territory of encounter between Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. From this place, I continue an artistic and spiritual exploration in which memory, identity, territory, and cosmic consciousness converge. Through photography and visual creation, I seek to transform matter into a contemplative experience that invites us to reconnect with our most essential dimension.
