Short Biography

 

I was born in Barcelona/Spain in 1961 and have been living in Rosenheim for many years.

 

After studying humanities at the LMU Munich, I worked in the insurance industry.

 

At regular intervals I study with well-known artists such as Prof. Nikolaus Hipp, Bernd Zimmer, Carsten Westphal, Prof. Markus Lüpertz and Florian Lechner.

 

Since 1977 I have been painting abstract, vegetal and figurative oil and acrylic paintings, often in mixed media, watercolor and pastel paintings, sponge paintings, and 3D paintings on acrylic panels. I also design postcards and gift books.

 

In the past I was also engaged in nude painting, ceramics, silversmithing, glass art and photography.

 

The beauty and uniqueness of nature are my credo. It is also important to me to draw attention to the destruction of nature and climate change with my pictures.

 
I exhibit regularly in the Munich and Rosenheim area, as well as internationally.
