From 7 to 10 April I will be participating in the European Crafts Days 2026 by opening the doors of my pottery workshop in Finisterre (A Coruña). During these days, anyone interested will be able to come and get a closer look at the craftsmanship and discover how handmade ceramic pieces are created. This is [...]

Last week I had the honour and joy of participating in an artist residency organised by the @hortacreativa collective at @campinglagomar, in Muxía. It was part of the Art Week, a meeting between artists in a stunning natural environment: surrounded by forest and with spectacular views of the sea. The atmosphere was simply magical.

After many years of working with ceramics intermittently, I decided to take it up again more frequently and make it a permanent occupation in my creative day-to-day life. I did my studies in Hungary in a vocational training equivalent to the Spanish Grado Medio in Spain, focused entirely on the ceramic arts. During those four years I learned so much

It's been a couple of weeks since I started these colour studies, and I'm still exploring light and loose brushstrokes through small sketches. I live in Finisterre, a place where the sea is always present and constantly changing, which has led me to choose these seascapes to copy. I am

These days I have been making small colour sketches, copying Sorolla's small-format paintings. I would especially like to practise his handling of the brush to achieve a looser brushstroke.

This January I have decided to devote myself to studying landscapes, a subject that has captured my interest for many years. My focus is on the landscape of Finistère, a place that has become my home for the past seven years. In this time, I have had the opportunity to capture special moments.

My new painting represents the Castle of San Carlos seen from the beach of Ribeira, in Finisterre. In the work you can still see the palm trees that, a few years ago, had to be felled due to a plague of a pathogen that affected the species throughout Spain. I remember how their crowns always resounded with

Today in Galicia, the rain covers everything with its characteristic melancholic veil. Perhaps the rainy season has already begun, and this weather invites me to stay at home, dedicating myself to small landscape compositions. I use as a basis my photographs, which I have accumulated in abundance over the seasons and at different times of day.

Portraiture has been one of the most fascinating and powerful art forms throughout the history of art. From the realistic portraits of ancient Greece to the modern, abstract interpretations of today, the act of capturing the essence of a person on canvas has evoked a deep connection between the artist and the sitter.
