Art has been with me for as long as I can remember.

As a teenager, drawing was a fixed part of my daily life — from filling sketchbooks and folders to working intensively on portraits and realistic drawing. Later, this path led me to the University of the Basque Country, where I studied art and explored a wide range of disciplines including painting, drawing, stage design and art history.

After several years in which web design and other professional paths took centre stage, I eventually found my way back to painting and drawing — more intensely and consciously than ever before.

Today my work moves between realistic portrait art and abstract painting. I am particularly interested in expression, movement and the emotional presence of an image.

For me, every piece is part of an ongoing creative process — and a way of making emotions visible.
