 Curriculum

She was always keen on art, specially drawing and painting. She began to draw as an autodidact on every paper she found and shortly after, she started oil painting.
In 1989, she started his artistic education, attending classes with Ricardo Segura Torrella and went on her education with this painter up to 1995. It was then that she started to study oil painting, watercolour, pastel and mixed techniques. Her painting is figurative and subjective and her themes are based on fantasy, elementary beings, mythology and abstraction. It is a lyrical painting, based on spirituality and poetry, as it is projected from inside to the real world, making the spectator not only watch but also discover in painting the essence, contents and message the work wants to transmit.
