My paintings, pulsating with color and imbued with the magic of existence, are a celebration of life and femininity
​
As a child, I loved to draw comics and flowers; to imagine my own little worlds on paper. This desire to create eventually led me to study architecture at Lund University in Sweden. After working as an architect for 11 years in five different countries, I developed my own unique artistic language. In combining my knowledge of proportions and materials with the bright neon colors of my experiences in Shanghai, Paris, and London, I found a way to consciously give free rein to my imagination.
Upon meeting my partner in 2017, traveling extensively through his native Mexico and experiencing a very profound sense of joy, I decided to leave architecture and focus entirely on my art. Since the birth of my daughter in 2021, my greatest ambition is to inspire her, and women in general, to stay true to themselves and make the world a better place through their uniqueness.
My work highlights the values of love, nurture, and freedom that are essential for all living beings to thrive
I have completed more than 20 murals in places such as Berlin, Malmö, Zürich, and Dubai. My most recent projects include a 300 m2 mural covering the entrance to the parking at Hotel Berlin, Berlin and a mural for the street art gallery A-fence at Alexanderplatz. I have exhibited at galleries in London, New York, Shanghai, and Berlin and have worked on commissions for magazines such as Elle Décor.
I am inspired by the colors of Mexico, the feeling of my daughters hand on my belly and the IDEAS OF NATURAL ORDER.
My works are dreamlike, alternate realities where human figures, often with their heads replaced by clouds, plants, or animal faces, exist in vibrantly enigmatic settings.
Drawing inspiration from philosophy, physics, and biology, I paint details from my daily life; long afternoons at the playground with my daughter, chopping vegetables for dinner, and fleeting moments of tranquility in a warm bubble bath. Everyday happenings hold feelings of utmost tenderness, excruciating boredom, and lighthearted joy. When we rest for a while on these seemingly ordinary occasions, we perceive a connection to something greater than ourselves. My paintings explore this sentiment.
Including apparently unrelated objects, plants, and animals in these scenes, I address the concept that everything in the universe is one. Clouds, birds, and cacti appear repeatedly, symbolizing the importance of dreams, freedom, and resilience. Obscuring the heads of figures, they question the place of humans in the world order and challenge the role of rational intelligence as superior. The colorful vistas surrounding the figures evoke a sense of alienation from nature and, as a result, from society. My paintings tell stories of longed-for connections between individuals and their surroundings.
Using bold black outlines and bright colors, I combine elements from surrealism with pop art sentiments such as irony and repetition to create my own language. My works are lighthearted upon first sight and encourage the viewer to pause and smile. I wish to trigger childhood memories and bring back the magic of innocence. In breaking the rules of perspective, I allude to the limitless imagination we possess before being shaped to fit into society. With the free mind of a child, we can imagine exquisite settings where humans live in harmony with plants and animals, and anything is possible.
Since the birth of my daughter in 2021, the power of women and the importance of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare have become prominent themes in my work. Giving birth has made me question our hyper-capitalist, quantified reality more than ever. Growing a child inside you is a tremendous transformation, and the responsibility for that life is overwhelming. Modern society leaves little space for the profound nature of these experiences and often leaves new mothers feeling isolated and undervalued. My latest paintings encourage reflection on women's fundamental role in humanity's survival. They highlight the resilience required to bring new life to this world and celebrate the power of the female body and spirit.
I work with ink on paper, acrylic on canvas, and large-scale private and public murals. My work is scalable; I create my murals from small sketches and scale them free-hand to fit surfaces up to 20 x 25 meters.
