“Although I often work with painting, I do not approach it as a medium to express something predetermined. Instead, I see it as a space to hold and sustain certain states.
I experiment with gestures, textures, and forms—not to resolve them, but to inhabit them more deeply.

Text appears occasionally in my work, not to explain, but to add layers of meaning—like echoes of a forgotten narrative.
For me, the creative process is a form of storytelling: open-ended, material, and porous.

Nature is never a mere subject in my work; it is a presence—a symbolic terrain where memory, myth, and perception converge.
Landscape, in this sense, is expansive, encompassing the internal, the imagined, the ancient, and the immediate.”


I'm a Spanish artist based in Sweden since 2001. I live and work in the countryside outside Lidköping, where I develop a multidisciplinary practice grounded in painting, and sometimes expanding into video, photography, or installation.

My work is driven by curiosity—by a need to understand how we perceive, remember, and create meaning. I like to experiment, both with materials and with ideas. Painting is at the core of my practice, but I also explore other methods as tools for thinking through time, presence, and transformation.

I often use abstract forms and text to explore the space between image, memory and landscape. For me, landscape isn’t a genre but a symbolic space, always shifting—real, imagined, internal.

My work has been shown in exhibitions across Sweden and internationally. I also create public and site-specific works that open up to their surroundings and respond to place and context.
