Le grand bleu

One of my favourite movies of all times is the movie called "Le Grand Bleu" from Luc besson with the beautiful Jean-Marc Barr and the one and only, the fantastic Jean Reno.
For me, it was the magic of that deep blue sea, and the simple life of living at the beach that makes me want to move to Barcelona, my home for 23 years.
And later on to discover my biggest passion along with painting, which is diving!

The deep blue sea, this magical world full of hidden secrets, and the most curious life inspire me to keep creating; after one immersion I go back to my studio and I humbly try to recreate this feeling. One thing I can say is THANK YOU to this beautiful planet and all the wonderful things that we have the privilege to have. I hope we can keep it safe and keep enjoy this beauty for ever.

Each painting that I create is a unique dance of a variety of materials, unique to each work. I often refer to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which I prepare myself from scratch in the same way that the Renaissance masters would have done. I always use oils and inks in my work. The quality of these mediums enables me to build up subtle and rich layers from which my poetic images appear. Each work is always a battle between exposing and suppressing different areas until the perfect balance of colour and form is achieved.
