Defying gravity: a Wicked exhibition

"Defying gravity: a Wicked exhibition" is officially open to the public at Gallery Nucleus!!! I feel so thankful to have been invited to participate in this group show amongst such amazing artists! If you are in the LA area, you can go visit Gallery Nucleus to take a look at the exhibition and, if you're interested in adopting some neon green flying monkeys, my original painting is now available for sale through their website! 💚💚💚

PS: I've painted my piece "Winged Monkeys" with "Ferrys Wheel Press" green ink, "Parker Quink" black ink and "Winsor & Newton" white gouache on Canson green neon paper (11x14 inches / 28x36 cm).

Missing swing dancing so much! Can’t wait to go back at it as soon as I have some free time 👞👞

Lisa Larson studies

I've just discovered the work of the incredible Swedish artist Lisa Larson (1931-2024) and I'm in AWE at her design choices and bold shapes! These are some chunky doggos studies inspired by her ceramics done with acrylic markers and ink.

Queen Mimi

Mimi is @alariho ‘s family cat and I get to sketch her every time we go visit her queendom during the holidays. 50% baby and 50% grandma, she’s a wise yet clumsy lady with the tiniest head I’ve ever seen. I love her and she grants me with the superpower of barely giving me any allergy symptoms 🫶 @mimi_official_cat 🫶

Fun facts about my relationship with horses:

1- I love drawing them but their faces never stop being weird and incomprehensible.

2- Baby foals look suspiciously too serious for their age.

2- I've designed a different horse for almost every film/show I've ever worked on.

3- I was born in the year of the "metal horse", what that means you'll have to tell me in the comments.

#ArtVSArtist2025

It’s that time of the year again! #artvsartist2025 !! ✍️🔥

I can’t believe December is here already, these past months have literally flown by!!

This year has been full of exploration, growth and discovery: I’ve worked with some of my artistic heroes, got some time to develop personal projects and shared and learnt with the most amazing humans. Thanks SO much to everyone who made this 2025 such a special year and I wish you all an awesome start to the new one! 💫 💫 💫

 

Quick sketch based on the amazing Camilo Díaz’s aquatic sports photos! 🤽💦

Life drawing session in Paris

During my stay in Paris last month I was super lucky to attend to a life drawing session hosted by Studio Blauhai and modelled by the incredible Océane Mojaïsky. She threw some of the most difficult action poses I've ever seen a model perform (based on yoga and contact fighting), I really don't know how she managed to hold those silhouettes without moving an inch! Thanks so much Studio Blauhai for hosting and, if you guys live nearby, be sure to check their news as they will be organizing more events like this in the future!

Life Drawing at La Madriguera

Some life drawing sketches from my art residency at La Madriguera. Missing that space everyday... ❤️‍🩹

Infinitas gracias a Paula Bonet por descubrirme la alquimia del grafito acuarelable, las pastillas Graf y el acrílico líquido; y a Clío por compartir esa energía maravillosa con nosotras.
