Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia and PhD in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, expands her training as an artist in residence at the Pratt Graphic Manhattan Center in New York, USA. If in his first works documented back in the 80s, Paul Klee’s influence is clear, the neo-expressionist current will soon be, which, around 1989, will load his works with matter and gesture: American Dreams, Albertina, Kleist in Thun …, white series of action painting, meeting and disagreement with matter in its purest state.

time away from the expressive and informal graphics that characterized his first works. Only in appearance because the warmth of her style and series, which as an obsession, lead her to exhaust the motive, are still present. There is also the fragment and its many possibilities that increase the scale of the work. The format, small and close, that encourages the observer to an intimate approach is maintained and there is the economy of means and resources, reductionism that leads to the limit.
