My work explores textured contemporary abstraction through pattern, rhythm, and layered surfaces. Influenced by the ornamental language of Barcelona’s Modernisme architecture, I reinterpret architectural rhythms through subtle geometry and tactile relief.
Using mixed media techniques, each painting is built gradually—layers are applied, compressed, and partially revealed to create surfaces that feel weathered and shaped by time. The textures evoke a sense of corrosion, patina, and quiet imperfection, echoing the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, where beauty emerges through age, irregularity, and natural transformation.
The result is a balance between structure and organic decay, creating works that feel both contemporary and timeless
