even that which chooses not to be

Art unites us
It is especially important in these times,
with all the terrible things happening in our world

Cherry blossoms at Marango Monastery

Life is short, you are only here for a short visit.
Don't rush, and be sure to smell the flowers you find along the way

Constant renwewal

watercolour

Hope is a central theme in my landscapes, expressions of a deep connection with nature and an unchanging beauty

Lush greenery represents vitality and constant renewal in the cycle of the seasons, underlining how hope persists even in the darkest of times.

Moisture then is a sign of resilience, of the persistence of life even in the midst of aridity, showing that hope can blossom in unexpected places.

Finally, light is the beacon that guides us through the darkness, a reflection of hope that shines constantly, a flame that never goes out, directing us towards renewal and transformation. 

No matter how dark the horizon, there is always a new dawn coming

Between night and day

I live that moment when everything is in harmony and balance: senses and thoughts of a beginning and an end that are never upset ...

Sunny stairs in Girona

watercolour

Sometimes even a pile of rubbish with beautiful lighting can become a work of art

Every day 
I look, 
 I hear, 
I perceive 
my surroundings. 
When I paint, I relive these sensations. 
I believe that if we pay close attention, 
every object 
and every moment 
contains the Universe within them

Light

watercolour

I share this great artistic passion with artists, gallery owners, collectors and friends from all over the world through moments of human and artistic growth

A dream to be immortalised on paper in complete freedom, watercolouring almost with your eyes closed, to better feel your emotions and be able to represent them with joy.

A music of colours that, starting from our soul, spreads around us, in everyday life, even in the most difficult moments, however and whenever the joy of living...

A hope: that each one of us may feel the desire to discover those riches within us grow, remembering that beyond reason there is also the dream

Blindness

My art aims to represent the inner soul and deep feeling of humanity, which is not easy to express using words

Evening gold

watercolour

Using different tones and shades, I try to capture the beauty that inhabits the places I visit, giving them a sensitivity that doubles as a latent poetry
