I studied art in Madrid, Prague and Rome. I am based in Brussels where I work on developing my style, mostly in portrait painting. I work on projects on command, and more and more just on developing my own personal projects. For me, the art of portraiture is a search beyond aesthetics and resemblance, and that is what I investigate through observation, and the use of line and color, shapes.... I try to take the painted faces to extremes and play with concepts like gender and age...animal-like features, that are hard, but tender, strong but  soft...
