I'm excited to share my latest mural project, which I completed in a stunning home in the Nopa neighborhood of San Francisco. I enjoyed working with the homeowners to create a calming and meditative environment in their living room, and I was honored to collaborate with them on their vision. I used soft colors and gentle curves to create a sense of harmony and freshness, as well as to contrast with the urban setting of the house. I hope this mural will bring them joy and peace.

I have exciting news for you. This week is the 20th anniversary of my arrival in San Francisco from Spain, and to celebrate this milestone, I'm having a special art sale that you don't want to miss. You can buy my original paintings and prints online or visit my studio during the Fall Open Studios and get up to 50% OFF on selected paintings. You can also access this Art Sale here:

I've recently rediscovered some of these paintings at my parent’s home in Galicia and I was surprised by their quality and originality. I decided to bring some of them with me to San Francisco, and offer them to you, my loyal collectors and friends, at a very special price. You can get these paintings for the same price they had in 1999. So a bargain considering their value and rarity.

A great opportunity to spice up your walls and support my art practice. But hurry, this offer is only valid until the end of October!

​Last Monday October 2, I had the honor to present my work at the conference "The multiple that occupies the space: Inhabiting the public", organized by the University of Vigo, Spain. Promoted by the research group dx5 (digital & art graphic research), the conference highlighted new approaches to integrate art into the public space, and included presentations by artists  Ampparito and Sabrina Fernández Casas. 

I had the chance to present recent projects in the context of spaces of transit.

Community Mural

​This mural explores the relationship between California oaks and water in the context of the climate crisis. Inspired by Victorian wallpaper, I incorporate elements such as the leaves from many local oaks, and organic patterns to contrast the natural and artificial aspects of human culture. Using the fluid and organic qualities of water, I evoke the movement and vitality of these majestic trees, highlighting the importance of nature and the fragility of ecosystems that depend on water. This work is a tribute to the beauty and resilience of oak trees, and a call to action to protect them.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been commissioned the design of an exciting public art project in the heart of Sacramento’s River District at the Richards Boulevard Office Complex.

The campus is located at the confluence of the Sacramento and the American Rivers . This convergence of the two streams of water and energy, create a dynamic and transformational flow, a metaphor of the flow of life, a transition from the past to the future, blending to create vitality and connection.

My design for the Grand Façade imagines the importance of water to life on this planet and specifically to the City of Sacramento. As sea levels arise and climate change affects our cities, I feel it’s important to look at water as the vital, spiritual, and restorative source that connects us all, to each other, and to our landscape.

Capitalizing on this grand scale, this public art commission has provided me with the opportunity to create an iconic and emblematic image in the Sacramento River District that will stand for decades to come.  Project to be completed by the end of 2023

Big gratitude to Dyson and Womack, California Department of General Services and ZGF Architects for your trust, support, and guidance during this process.

Embodied in this project is the city of Palo Alto, its communities, their stories, and its ecology.  ​ 
This Tea Ceremony and community ritual  is the culmination of my art Project "El Palo Alto Medicine", currently on display at the Palo Alto Art Center. 

With the public gathering around the artful preparation, we invoked the healing powers of redwoods while enjoying redwood tea.  United we called for strength, wisdom and resilience to stand up for climate justice.

Embodied in this project is the city of Palo Alto, its communities, their stories, and its ecology. 

Inspired by the story of El Palo Alto (the tall pole, in Spanish), the oldest redwood tree in the area and the one that gives the city of Palo Alto its name, I created herbal remedies using the leaves from  this legendary, ancient and iconic redwood tree and an extraction of the pigments was used to paint the mural in the gallery.

​This installation will culminate in a community ritual, a tea ceremony with the public gathering around the artful preparation, presentation, and enjoyment of the El Palo Alto Redwood Tree tea.
