Art has always been a part of my life as I grew up listening to music with my grandparents and watching my mother dance Flamenco around the house. I began taking art lessons at the age of seven and have not stopped since. I have experimented with various forms of art such as sculpture, animation, illustration, and photography, although my favourites are drawing and painting. My preferred medium is oil paint due to its rich colour and smooth texture that is excellent for blending. I am fascinated by Renaissance artists such as Caravaggio, Raphael, and Artemisia Gentileschi. Their works of art inspire my own oil paintings with their masterful use of chiaroscuro, sfumato, and perspective. The inspiration for my artworks comes from positive and negative memories such as moments spent with family and friends, traumas, achievements, and losses.
