\u201cLife is like a bird, just as it comes it goes\u201d Margarita Igea<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This phrase, inherited from my maternal grandmother, runs through the work and summarizes the deeply existential character of artistic practice itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Through painting and sculpture, the silent struggle that inhabits human beings is explored. The works, faces and fragmented figures emerge from a material and vibrant painting, where the gesture builds portraits loaded with vulnerability, memory and resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Work is a vital adventure, inviting us to explore the interior geographies where fragility, strength, the ephemeral and the essential coexist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
