The world we live in today is cosmopolitan, where rich and diverse cultures coexist. Cities, and in particular capital cities, are becoming more multicultural. Various nationalities and religious groups coexist in the same place.

This phenomenon is translated into a culture clash between the experiences of different groups. The confrontation of cultures does not develop simply due to the difficulty of one to accept the other; language barriers that translate into poor communication, and a general intolerance of accepting change in general can both be attributing factors.

In the opposite sense, culture clash also has the capacity to generate a meeting of cultures and an enriching of society. Immigrant cultures have evolved to adapt to a new physical, social and religious environment. These culture clashes have also given way to new forms of culture. And it is this mixture that interests me to represent in my paintings.

My international journeys and the cultural experiences in each one of them have shaped my vision of the world. I have always been fascinated by different cultures and their ancient traditions, deeply influencing my artistic work and my painting, through images, colours and themes.

The duality that occurs in these culture clashes is represented in my paintings through a juxtaposition of concepts such as Love / Hate, Peace / War, Violence / Beauty; depicted through codes, language and symbols.

I perceive cosmopolitan communities in the manner of a big puzzle, in this sense I integrate collage into my paintings by means of the overlapping composite of several images. Finding an aesthetic unity based on the harmony of colours. This is how each painting has a particular story to tell through its own visual plot.

It is especially my time spent in Asia that opened the doors to a new aesthetic concept, full of colours, textures and exotic smells, for me: new and unknown. They were emotional experiences, leading me to discover realities totally different from what I knew.

These paintings are formed by my personal history in the different countries I have lived. Puzzles full of colour, culture, rites, sounds, smells and sensations which have cemented into the paintings an expression of my own vision of the human world in which we live. They are a window, open to my self.
