I am a painter based in New York, originally from a small Mediterranean town in Spain. My work centers on the female body, not as something to be observed, but as something lived. I am interested in how the body carries memory, how it is shaped by the way it is seen, and how those perceptions slowly become internal.
I grew up surrounded by women, and much of my understanding of the body comes from that proximity. Through gesture, care, silence, and contradiction, I learned that the body is never neutral. It holds vulnerability and strength at the same time, and it often carries stories that are not immediately visible.
In my paintings, figures exist in spaces that feel both interior and exterior, where boundaries dissolve. These environments reflect the experience of inhabiting a body that is deeply personal, yet constantly influenced by external perception. I am drawn to the moment when the gaze turns inward, when what was once outside becomes part of how we see ourselves.
I work primarily in oil on canvas, building images that combine figuration with symbolic elements. My practice is informed by early Renaissance painting, symbolism, and personal memory, but I am not interested in recreating the past. I use these references as a structure to explore something contemporary and intimate.
At its core, my work is about understanding what has been placed onto the body, and what might remain once those layers begin to fall away.
