I started using Chinese inks, rice paper, and bamboo paper for my paintings after moving to Shanghai, China, in 2007 and living there for two years.

My art was greatly influenced by Eastern philosophy and the traditional Chinese art techniques I learned during my stay.

I was especially drawn to the transparency and strength of the Chinese ink painting technique, which did not allow for any changes once the brush touched the paper.

Marcel Huang, my Chinese teacher, taught me many things, such as the importance of balance between grays and colors, composition, and patience. However, he also emphasized the need for paintings to "breathe" and "vibrate" and to have feelings. For me, a work of art must be alive and expressive.

My artistic style underwent a transformation after my experience in Shanghai, becoming a blend of Spanish and Chinese cultures. It has been a unique and rewarding journey that has helped me evolve as an artist and as a person.
