"In my paintings I enjoy expressing spontaneity and randomness with color, this gives them a type of freedom and ease that contrasts the deeper voices of the subject matter, the story behind. So at the end my art is about life itself. A struggle between the jing and the jang, the laughter and the seriousness of being alive. I feel like I am a citizen of the world, like many spaniards now have to leave the country in look for a better life, and many people in these world have to do the same.

My art is represented in aggressive and raw intense colors that I take from my native land, and the light of both countries where I have been fortunate to live, the Californian and Andalusian SUN. The red colors, the yellows and ocres of the Spanish landscape and spirit, just like the collective historical psyche of the Iberian population holds true to the “tragic sense of life”. I believe my art to be universal, and nomadic, as I feel like a gypsy painter at times. I am a california painter now, but me and my art are evolving and changing daily."

I am an artist and an art educator, I have over ten years experience teaching art in public and private schools in San Francisco. I have worked at Holy Name School, Glen Park Elementary, Hillcrest School and Mission Dolores Academy. I graduated with a MA in Art Education from The Academy of Art University, and I hold a BFA from Complutense University in Madrid, and a Pedagogical Adaptation Certificate (CAP) from University of Almeria, Spain.

Art creation inspires students to develop emotionally and intellectually, and I teach by scaffolding my students, guiding and encouraging them to experience their own artistic results, so they can grow and learn by creating meaning, by taking risks and creating their own experiences. I love the social interaction my students have when they are problem solving such as creating the composition for a still life drawing. I enjoy seeing these “creative spark” moments when they are learning about aesthetics and they are making their own decisions when creating.
