About the art
Artist statement
This artwork is meticulously finished with a high gloss using premium-quality epoxy resin on birch wood, ready to hang.
My journey with SWIMMERS began in 2019, inspired by my passion for triathlons. As I painted, I realized that the swimmer navigating against the currents mirrored my journey, finding purpose amidst life's challenges. In the vast sea of existence, I discovered resilience, unfazed by passersby's opinions.
By 2022, my artistic path became more defined, marked by a newfound clarity and ease. Through relentless experimentation over 19 months, I perfected the technique of merging perfectly defined silhouettes with pigmented epoxy resin. In the UNDERWATER 5000 SERIES, I depict a swimmer immersed in ethereal waters, brought to life with layers of translucent colours and 3D varnish. Each stroke symbolizes the dance of light penetrating the depths, capturing the serene tranquillity of underwater exploration.
In February 2024, I recently unveiled the UNDERWATER 6000 SERIES, where the artwork's shape mirrors the silhouette of sunbeams piercing through the sea. Crafted entirely by hand in my studio in Madrid, each piece is a labour of love, inviting you to immerse yourself in its beauty.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is fulfilling commission orders, as I connect deeply with the vision of those who resonate with SWIMMERS or UNDERWATER.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my art.
