I do not have formal art education. I deliberately move away from academic techniques to explore and reveal the ability of intuitive naive art to convey meaningful content and emotional intensity through metaphor and the use of a specific color palette.

I remember the moment that marked the beginning of my creativity; it was then that I realized I could not stop painting, I could not stop expressing myself through art. I was traveling through Catalonia and visiting the places of power of Dalí and Picasso. One day, I went to the beautiful town of Cadaqués, which Dalí considered his place of inspiration, and on the way there, turning on a serpentine road, my eyes opened to a snow-white and incredibly picturesque sunlit town in a bay with azure water. I experienced sensations comparable to catharsis and understood that from that moment on, I would either surround myself with art or create it myself. In the end, I chose both.
