Born from the
Struggle
Two years ago, my artistic journey took a profound shift in México during a time when the weight of loss felt overwhelming. Grief merged with the stark realities of a new identity, forcing me to make a choice:
a) pretend everything is fine and carry on as usual, or…
b) turn towards uncomfortable feelings that I prefer to hide?
Instead of retreating, I chose to face my sorrow head-on.
After years of focusing on landscapes, I found that my sense of emptiness pulled me toward intuitive painting, not as a means of escape, but as a lifeline. With acrylics, charcoal, graphite, whatever was within reach, I allowed the markings and materials to convey the emotions I was too shattered to articulate.
LESS THINKING; MORE FREEDOM

LESS THINKING; MORE FREEDOM •
(This mantra became my survival mechanism and continues to guide my work today)
Art Without
a Safety Net
Intuitive painting isn’t just an expressive art technique, it’s also how I keep my balance. It’s more like an active meditation practice. There’s no plan or predetermined image, just pure, unfiltered emotion flowing with each stroke. Every piece begins in chaos, but within that chaos, truth begins to emerge. My emotions guide my choices and convey what needs to be expressed. The creative process brings me back to the present.
This process reveals not only my emotions but also my own story to myself, turning each work into a visual diary of my inner world. It’s messy, unpredictable, and brutally honest—a mirror of life itself. Through this approach, I find some understanding, and maybe even a bit of healing, for myself and for those who connect with my work.
Facing the Hard Truth
Builds Community
Art, I’ve come to understand, isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. Inspired by Brené Brown’s insights on vulnerability, I’ve learned to embrace the belief that revealing our broken pieces is what truly forges connection with self as well as with others. Though my paintings are deeply personal, they serve as a mirror, inviting others to see their own struggles and stories reflected within.
I create not to fit in or to confront, but to reclaim love for myself and accept that I am enough. My hope is for viewers to feel connected in their own experiences of loss. By sharing these paintings, I aim to build a community that embraces the full spectrum of human emotions, celebrating our journey through life as a collective art of being and belonging.
