Century 21
Century 21 is my way of looking at the present — an emotional and visual translation of the digital age we live in. Through abstraction and surreal elements, I explore how technology is reshaping the way we connect, perceive, and exist.
This series is not about the future — it is about the now.
It invites us to question what is real and what is not,
and to consider everything that remains unseen once the screen turns off.
My work reflects the tension between what is shown and what is hidden, between the version of reality we curate and the one we inhabit.
In Century 21, I am not offering answers; I am opening a space for doubt, reflection, and reinterpretation.
We may all live in the same world, but each of us constructs our own reality — online, offline, and somewhere in between.

Saudade marbella
Music is always a source of inspiration for me, and in this series, resonates through the titles of my works.
Living in different places from a young age, gave me an open, adaptable, and deeply sensitive perspective toward my surroundings. Here, Marbella is my point of departure: its energy, light, and vegetation inspire me to create pieces that speak with the life around them.
From that connection, three paintings were born, each representing my vision of Marbella from a different creative state:
• The first, more surrealist, arises from precision: defined, controlled lines where each stroke maintains its structure.
• The second begins with an initial idea, but I let it evolve freely, breathe, and transform during the process.
• And the third is pure, unplanned painting, where brushstrokes lead the way, and only at the end do I discover its meaning.
For me, style is not a limitation, but a consequence of the emotional state of the moment.
