1. Where were you born and where are you from ?

2. What is your first memory connected to the art world ?

3. Have you always worked in the art/design field ?

In 2007 I decided to create functional art inspired by nature. I decided to present my work in an international competition and it was selected to be produced by a very important outdoor furniture brand. In 2014 I needed to express myself in other ways, and I began to create sculptures shaping my inner world. I love to create unique pieces of design, sculptures, paintings, jewellery, fashion…etc.

4. What led you to the design creation ?

The journey to this specific career path was very organic and intuitive, driven by my constant curiosity to transform space on various levels. My inaugural creation, MARE, meaning ‘SEA’ in Latin, took shape in 2007. I find joy in witnessing a beautiful sunset and gazing at the infinite horizon. I feel a sense of completeness both by the sea and in the presence of trees, inhaling the scent of rain-soaked earth. The immensity, grandeur, and beauty of nature prompt me to contemplate the profundity of life, a sentiment that resonates in my work. An inner force has always guided me to continually create and imagine.

5. How would you describe your creative process and it influences ?

Nature has always been my endless source of inspiration. But in the last 13 years, I have delved into the intricate world of energy healing, producing works that reflect a multi-faceted reality and the soulful core of mankind. My creative journey aims to bring harmony through volume, shape, and space, with a focus on emptiness rather than mere solidity – a concept inspired by Brancusi’s exploration of life’s essence. Infusing organic lines and forms, I blend classical and cutting-edge materials such as steel, brass, aluminum, and acrylic stone to sculpt intimate pieces both indoors and outdoors.

6. Could you describe a typical day of your work ?

Every day is different, but I normally get up at 6:30 A.M., do some exercise, and start working at 9 am on the computer replying emails, etc. Then, I usually go to the workshop where I produce my pieces in Madrid. I work in collaboration with the best artisans on each material and I love to see how the pieces are progressing. In the afternoons I either meet some friends, go to an event or I continue coordinating my work. 

7. Why did you choose the specific materials you work with ?

I love natural materials. They talk about life in all aspects, about the passage of time, and their energy is very high. Each piece needs to be created in a specific material, depending on the size or what I want to express through them. The Ginkgo collection is made of cast ductile brass, and the Ula sculpture bench is made of marble. For example, the Soul Sculpture bench is created in wood, brass, cor-ten steel, marble, and acrylic stone. In this case, materials change, but beauty doesn’t.

8. What are the technical particularities of your creations ?

I work with many different materials, and the techniques vary depending on the piece I want to create. The expert artisans I work with are my hands. They carry out my vision for each piece.

9. What advices could you give to beginning artists who would like to create sculptural design works ?

10. If your works had to belong to a design movement, in which one would you define it ?

11. What designers and artists have influenced you ?

12. What contemporary designers do you appreciate ?

13. What contemporary artists (in any kind of art) have you been inspired by ?

14. If you had to summarize your creations in one word or sentence, what would it be ?
