Flamenco is an inspiration source for my artistic expression, through this context I can manifest on canvas the movement of this art, and also the sound, dance and music, which I express with all senses. My palette, created by intense colors, mirrors and collage, projects the passion and visualizes feelings that provoke the energy sensation of this dance showing its character and strength.
What inspires me is the feeling of human beings that reflects our souls constantly, conscious and unconscious through this finding. Love for visual arts, inspires me to continue in this endless path, always full of new findings, complexities and internal growth, a way which is waiting for us full of surprises and challenges achieving all senses and forms of art.
