Young warrior

Metal Sculpture.

This is an abstract expression of a human head in profile.

The welded metal gives it strength and the variety
of shapes in the metal pieces gives it a feeling of movement and chaos.

Somehow I wanted to make it look like chinese caligraphy in three dimensional form.

For me, this piece came to represent an ancient chinese warrior.

Material: Welded metal.

Size: 50cm x 30 aprox.

The infinite


Wood carving.

This shape represents the Infinite.

Material: Cedarwood.

Size: 50cm x 35cm. aprox.

This represent the start of creation, in another world where babies are born from flowers and where flowers become shining stars.

Material: pastels.

Size: 40cm x 60cm.

The orphans


I painted this picture having been inspired by a poem from the painter Edvard Munch.
After painting the picture I realized that these two characters where showing me something from my own life. I was faraway from home and felt lonely in a foreign country. Initially they represented me and my boyfriend at the time, but when I finished the picture it seemed to me they were like two lost children in the cold night.

Material: Gouache, pastels and charcoal.

Size: 1.30 cm x 80 cm

Steppenwolf

I dreamt about this wolf before I painted the picture.
In the dream he was quite gentle and laid his paw in my lap. He hurt me a bit with his claws without noticing, but I didn't care because I really liked him.
After painting this picture I felt the wolf represented a dark side of myself that I was facing, or an aspect of the male world I was reconciling with.

Material: Gouache

Size: 80cm x 60

Detail of picture "Ancient girl"

Ancient girl

The elephant in this picture is feeding the girl in his back.
Star dust and big stars seem to be her favorite food.
She has white long hair,like a grandmother, who has lived many years, but her body is like a little girl's.

One interpretation is that this girl represents the wisdom within human beings that need "celestial" nourishment. The elephant could also represent a compassionate, gentle and caring animal, who is always helping human beings.

Material: gouache and pastels.

Size: 70 cm x 85 cm.

Luminous autumn

This picture is very joyful for me.
Autumn is one of my favorite seasons
and I feel very energized and clear
minded at this time of the year.

Material: Watercolor

Size: 45 cm x 70 cm.

The owl women


I started painting this picture without a plan. Then I felt as if the owl women was emerging from underneath.

Technique: Gouache

Size: 75cm x 55cm.

Angel inside a tower


This picture was inspired by a poem I wrote about an angel.
It seems to me that the angel represents perfection, but at the same time distance and indifference, as if he doesn't really want to get involved with the mundane world.

Materials: Watercolors and pastels.

Size: 45 cm x 30 cm

Esperando en esperanza


I painted this picture in a period in my life when I felt I had stagnated, waiting and not been able to see my way through.

By doing this process I discovered how I was feeling in that moment.
