Inspired by a landscape near Mirador de la Antigua, overlooking the Meandro del Melero in Extremadura, Spain, The Lonely Tree presents a personal interpretation of a real place.
Drawing on Fauvism, I moved away from natural colours to express how the landscape made me feel. A blue tree, purple hills and a winding path transform the scene into a world shaped by colour and imagination.
The sky appears almost black, yet contains no black paint. Its depth comes from BAVARO BLACK No. 1, my own blend of colours, mixed to create the illusion of black.
An invitation to experience the landscape through my eyes.
Digital Chains
Acrylic paint, charcoal, pencil & markers on canvas
In Digital Chains, I explore how social media increasingly permeates the lives of young people.
The hands, trapped in digital handcuffs, refer to the fine line between connection and dependence.
The objects surrounding them form a recognisable portrait of a generation growing up in a world where online and offline increasingly merge.
With this work, I do not want to pass judgement, but to invite reflection.
Within the theme of Metamorphosis, I ask how free our choices still are when attention, affirmation and social interaction increasingly take place on digital platforms.

In Digital Chains onderzoek ik hoe sociale media steeds dieper doordringen in de leefwereld van jongeren.
De handen, gevangen in digitale handboeien, verwijzen naar de dunne grens tussen verbondenheid en afhankelijkheid.
De objecten rondom hen vormen een herkenbaar beeld van een generatie die opgroeit in een wereld waarin online en offline steeds meer samenvallen.
Met dit werk wil ik geen oordeel vellen, maar uitnodigen tot reflectie.
Binnen het thema Metamorfose stel ik de vraag hoe vrij onze keuzes nog zijn wanneer aandacht, bevestiging en sociale interactie zich steeds vaker afspelen op digitale platformen.

Making something together
A good idea has room to grow.
A commission is a conversation first, a painting second. No polished brief needed — just a small story, a feeling, or the thing you keep coming back to.
01 / Begin
Tell me what lingers.
Send a note with your idea, a few references if you have them, and where the work might live.
↘
02 / Find
We find the shape.
We talk through scale, palette, materials, and the feeling you want the piece to hold.
↗
03 / Make
Let the paint speak.
I work in layers and share a progress note along the way. Then the finished piece finds its home.
