This work is a modern still life where I merge realism with figuration. It is a vibrant exploration of textures and shapes created with acrylics and marble dust, I also used oils looking for textures that invite introspection. The forms evoke the majesty of nature and its eternal cycle. The earthy color palette and tactile richness offer an aesthetic experience that invites reflection and contemplation in any space. It is a celebration of the connection between nature and being.

I was born in Merida. I studied drawing and painting at the School of Fine Arts in Cáceres and at the School of Art and Design in Mérida (Superior Technician in Plastic Arts and Mosaic). I have shared studios with other artists, also dedicated to artistic evolution, making numerous group and solo exhibitions, my work has been recognized with the selection of a work in the call for the XXVII Prize of the Cultural Society "El Obrero Extremeño" of Almendralejo 2005; Setdart Gallery (acquisition) Barcelona; Parador Nacional de Turismo de Mérida (acquisition); in the call entitled "Women Artists" of the Assembly of the Junta de Extremadura (acquisition) and in private collections in Spain (Avila, Badajoz, Ciudad Real, World Heritage Cities, Cordoba, Cuenca, Madrid, Merida, Murcia, Salamanca, San Sebastian, Segovia, Valencia, Zamora and Zaráuz).
