Me and

My Way to Art

​We always leave aside what we like in behalf of what we have to do or what gives us money.

 

I like to paint, and I never had enough time to devote myself to it ( I am translator as proffesion). And although I started relatively late, (today everything is "before the age of 30"), I am fulfilling what I always dreamed: Paint, paint, paint. Freely (and I still have many examples and teachers ahead), but I am sensitive, I get excited with what I do, I enjoy it and that is why I am committed.  
 
I remember to start in a workshop in Bs As with the basic knowledge of an apple and the little house  with fireplace that smokes. And this teacher said "you will learn to differentiate a thousand apples from this apple". During that year I only worked with charcoal. Then I started with black and white acrylic and only  then with the three primary colors.  In this workshop I also had the beautiful experience of drawing model. I think it was the stage that showed me that we all carry an artist inside, and I wanted to develop mine, it showed me that you can.  Then I entered in the workshop of Betty Alonso, university professor and excellent painter, who taught me to "release the hand" and enjoy painting. I was able to paint anything that crossed my eyes.  It was a time of liberation.
 
Then, already settled in Spain, I joined the workshop of Rosalía Banet , a recognized international artist ,  and I surrendered to the pleasure of a colorful palette.  She gave me the kick-off to expose, to show people what I do and also to accept  critics.  I made individual and collective exhibitions, and I sold my first painting. That experience was both hard and rewarding, because it is difficult to come  off  one´s  first work. By this time,I broke the barrier of what I thought I was not capable of my  fears, frustrations, and at the same time  hopes, dedication and pride because you appreciate my work... I owe to her, besides  our friendship, the security that conveyed to me in my decision to devote myself to painting, launching me into a large canvas size,  facing criticism,  exhibitions, andreleasing  my work to unknown walls  that may appreciate my art.
 
Through this site you are going to know me ,  my personality, my change of mood through the colors, themes and composition.  I want to share my work with you and I hope you´ll enjoy it!
