She is a partner at CUMEDIAE (Culture&Media Agency Europe) where she carries out artistic direction tasks for projects.
Statement.
To paint the inner landscape. This sums up my relationship with art.
Not the most obvious, visual, and direct, but what one feels when seeing. Feelings narrated with cartographer's tools. Precision of brushstroke, superimposed or blended layers of paint, using oil as often as watercolor.
Such are the works that occupy me now, and indeed, a whole life trajectory that, although starting in Madrid as my birthplace, has accompanied me through every stage, trip, stay, sky, and experience in different places: Mexico, New York, Jerusalem, and, more than any other, Brussels, where I have spent a good part of my creative period and with which I remain strongly linked by professional ties.
Artist CV.
She has exhibited in Spain, Mexico, Jerusalem, and particularly in Belgium, in both solo and group exhibitions.
Notable solo exhibitions include the European Parliament in Brussels, Casa Sefarad in Madrid, Galería Trama and Sala Parés in Barcelona, and Galería Grosvenor-El Harar in Brussels.
Her work oscillates between painting and photography, always maintaining a common thread between both disciplines.
Among her latest exhibitions are:
Puddles and Whales, the words left unsaid.
A photographic project in dialogue with the poet Fernando Beltrán, consisting of photographs and poems where there is no direct correspondence between image and poetry, but rather a journey through the landscape of the puddle, a metaphor for the gaze expressed through words and visuals.
It was first exhibited in the Historic Cloister of the University of Oviedo and had its second stop at the BBVA Foundation in the Palacio del Marqués de Salamanca in Madrid.
Amphibians.
Creatures capable of living both on land and in water. This project highlights the renewable energy of art through painting, video, and poetry.
In 2023, it was exhibited at the Palacio Quintanar in Segovia.
Written Water.
A photography and painting project in dialogue with Fernando Beltrán's poetry.
The secrets of water. The footprints of water. The sins of water. Puddles, fallen leaves, recurring footsteps… Life itself. Plastic calligraphy.
In 2025, it was exhibited at La Lonja de Pescado. Alicante.
She has participated in art fairs such as Art for Breakfast (Málaga), Hybrid (Madrid), Just LX (Lisbon), Just Mad (Madrid), AAF (Brussels).
Collections.
Her work is represented, among others, in the collections of the Museo de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid), Gplus (London), Fundación Caixa de Sabadell, Casa Sefarad (Madrid), Grey Ibérica (Barcelona), Fundación Galicia-Europa (Brussels).
