I am...: living in the middle of nowhere in Northern Spain - nearest town, Gijón, Asturias - one of the best places to live ever. Been working hard last couple of years. Only started showing work 2 years ago after years of not taking myself and my art seriously at all. Starting to get things moving and it´s all very new and exciting...

About my artwork: I mostly represent female experience and sexuality through the female form and portrait. Recently been working on the theme of prostitution in Spain, especially trafficking and exploitation, as well as sexual values in Spain. Now turning more to the figure of the tragic heroine, especially pathos from Victorian novels; the Bröntes, Hardy...

Artists I like: Matisse (especially sketches, line drawings), Modigliani, Klimt´s drawings, Frida Kahlo, Lucien Freud, Jenny Saville, Indian classical art...

Interests: Painting with friends, surfing, exploring countryside, discovering new people and places, drinking tea with my aquelarre girlfriends, tarot, investigating female mythological and religious past
