Untitled
I usually use acrylic on the first layer, and oil on the following ones. Complement with oil pastel and oil bar. Sometimes I draw in pencil directly on the canvas, before starting to paint; other times I go directly to brush strokes, applying paint - on canvas or paper - with a brush, without any previous sketch. I rarely paint with spatulas. The painting is built with successive layers.
Art Statement
​
An artist's work is a kind of diary – said Picasso. It’s episodes that pass. Lives and experiences expressed on canvas, with paints and brushes. My paintings can either refer to an episode that took place on a trip – a memory – or they can talk about food or the cat that appeared on the roof. Or be simple ideas and concepts that have passed at the moment.
