Receive Text UpdatesI love painting pieces inspired by my country and hometown, like El Ávila and Los Roques. It keeps me connected to that part of me even from far away. I’m also deeply drawn to transformation. I use color boldly, almost intentionally exaggerated, as a way to remind myself to stay optimistic and shift negative energy into something lighter and more alive.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the small details I notice in everyday life. Music that pulls me into a flow, beautiful colors I see during my walks, and the landscapes of my home as I remember them. For me, painting is my personal way of absorbing a moment and holding onto it forever.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to invest it into my art, maybe create an exhibition or develop products around my work. Build an online platform to teach others how to paint and SEE the world! But honestly, I wouldn’t use it for myself. I would buy my husband a boat so he can go fishing. It would be incredibly meaningful for him, and I would love to be the one to make that happen.
