Brooklyn Window
Submitted to Aesthetica Juried Art Prize, UK 2026
BROOKLYN WINDOW started with three colors, and then the stuff hit the fan! I covered, scratched, scrapped, argued with, and asked if she was ever going to to talk to me.
Then, one day...
The little Brooklyn Window of my first apartment showed up.
That is the cycle of my "Reveal Series". The paintings appear after I let go of what I think they should be.
There are a lot of conversations in the painting, and then the surprising smile when it finally arrives and says: “Hello, I am your Brooklyn Window.” And I love it

Rosa Imposible
Submitted to Arte Laguna Prize, Venice, 2026. Juried - SOLD
In this piece, I explore the dialogue between four colors—ultramarine blue, light blue, yellow, and what I call Impossible Pink, allowing light to become an active participant in the painting.
I paint intuitively, allowing each work to reveal itself rather than following a predetermined image. I begin by listening, then I pick up the brushes.
I am fascinated by how colors talk to each other, how they merge and how they provide feeling and experiences.

Laboratory
Commissioned by a Private Collector
Laboratory was a surprise. I had not expected my first commission.
Usually I listen to a painting before I pick up the brush. This time, however, the painting needed a little information from the earthly world.
The Laboratory is the eccentric blue office of a television director. I walked in, closed the door, and simply looked.
Frankenstein.
Autographed rock-and-roll T-shirts.
A cabinet filled with real human skulls.
The room shifted my mood.
Everything had intention. Objects answered one another across the room with an unexpected sense of balance.
I sat there until the painting had the information.
Back in the studio the painting revealed itself.

Lethal Hallway
The working title of this painting was Dark Hallway, but while I was working, the painting asked for something stronger. "Be Bold", she said.
It became "Lethal Hallway." That's more like it.
David Bowie once said: "If you feel safe ... you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you're capable of being in.
Here I am, walking deep into it.

1- The Blue Moon appears when the mood strikes her, reflecting the moments when we are weary or pushed to the limit of our patience. The Blue Moon provides comfort and trust that there will be calmer times ahead.
2- The Blood Moon feels like trouble, yet she does not bring fear or anxiety. She is benevolent. She reflects the blood running through our veins as well as the blood of all of us living today, and even before, and after. Blood connects us through time and space forever.
3- The Pink Moon reflects moments when we are thriving. She encourages us to pause and enjoy these moments. Summer, strawberries, beaches, mountains, ice cream, mangos, dance, walks, children laughing … That is pink!
4- The Wolf Moon reflects focus, wisdom and compassion. She inspires us to care for each other. If you look closely, you may see lupine eyes staring back at you, securing your safety with love.
The moon is always watching.
