ART & DESIGN
Visual artist. Graphic designer.
My creative journey begins with my studies of Fine Arts at the University of the Basque Country (Leioa, Bizkaia), specializing in design and painting. Although I imagine that, like many other people, I already had the artistic side since I was a child.
I have dedicated a large part of my professional career to graphic design, working first in various agencies in Bizkaia and then as a freelance art director at Atvisual. I have currently woven a balance between both activities and now I am professionally dedicated to both. Being able to dedicate time to an analog activity in an increasingly digital environment is a breath of fresh air in my day-to-day life. This duality also allows me to explore the borders of the language of both worlds, mutually enriching them.
My creative palette spans diverse disciplines, a reflection of the fascination I feel for the peculiarities inherent in each one. Design leaves its mark mainly in my graphic works on paper, where masses of color, the composition of space and the search for synthesis intertwine, creating a unique and personal visual dialogue.
I have always found in nature an endless source of inspiration. I have mainly painted landscapes, which were initially figurative (although they have always been tinged with a certain abstraction).
Over time, and without being able to avoid it, I have become more and more immersed in colour, in the gesture of each project, and I have moved away from form. The details become blurred, until the physical world disappears in favour of a more emotional and intangible one. Many times I know where I start but not where I will end up. Each brushstroke is an act of translation, a transformation of the figurative essence into the realm of the abstract. In this way, my work ends up being a constant dialogue between what is seen and what is suggested, and in the emotions that lie behind each stroke.
In this creative journey, I aspire to open windows to aesthetic reflection and invite the viewer to delve into the visual and conceptual richness that unfolds in each work.
