Ikebana master

Today is the day!! "Portraits of the wildly polite" is opening its doors at @gallerynucleus LA!! The reception will be free to access to the public from 5PM to 8PM and the exhibition will be on until the 6th of September.

My piece for this group show is called "Ikebana master", an ink+goauche+acrylic painting on toned paper inspired by my dog Mochi. Ever since he was a tiny puppy he's been an absolute flower enthusiast and loves to smell them very carefully every time he walks by one (you can check the last pics of this post if you want some proof haha!)

Also, there will be some prints on the make distributed by Gallery Nucleus very soon, I'll keep you posted as soon as they're available on their website! :D

Thanks SO much again to the amazing team that made this group show possible! Go check out the rest of the artists on the show because it's an absolute blast!

PS: If you are in the LA area and happen to go to the exhibition, please send me some pics/videos! I would love to see how the piece looks on the wall! Thank uuu! 

Salamanca plein air oil painting 💫

Hola everybodyyy! Last Sunday I had SUCH a great time participating in the yearly plein air painting event “Salamanca monumental” organized by @lagacetadesalamanca 🎨💫

It was my first time ever painting with oils on the street + the first time painting a location in such a big format! I was feeling a bit intimidated at first but, the moment I picked up this spot and heard the storks clattering their beaks I felt an instant sense of peace and enjoyment. 

I had around 6 hours to paint it and even got selected with a mention of honor!! (I still can’t believe it! 😱🙏)

If you are in Salamanca, you can see my piece + all the selected artworks at the gallery “La Salina” in the city centre until the 8th of July! 🌱🌱🌱
