50 x 70 cm (sin enmarcar/not framed) I wish I could find a queer street, The crooked queer street that goes East of the sun and West of the moon And out where no wind blows. Then I'd find the shop where the seller of stars Sits and hammers behind the bars. Stars he gives for the asking, Starlight swords for the bold. Moon he sells for a penny or two Rounded and bright with gold. And broken silver of the sea he sells And the rain spears and the wind bells. Wings he weaves for the fairies, Gold of the sun you can buy And silver flowers of frost and dew, Rainbows out of the sky. And delicate morning mist he sells And pretty new songs for whispering shells. Oh, if I could find that dear street, The darling wee street with his house. I would buy a blackbird's whistle for you And for Johnny a talking mouse And a mermaid's tail to swim in the sea And dragon-fly wings for my Mummy and me! I wish I could find the wee street, That wanders up and down, That is East of the sun and West of the moon And very near twilight town, Where the seller of stars for a penny or two Will sell your heart's desire to you

Licenciada en Bellas Artes, Universidad de Salamanca (2005-2010). Máster en Escenografía, Istituto Europeo di Design (IED, 2010-2011). En mi época universitaria mi trabajo se centraba en el street art, el graffiti y el trabajo con plantillas. A día de hoy mi inpiración se ha expandido hacía más campos, mis referencias directas pueden ser Cy Twombly y Lee Krasner (la olvidada señora de Pollock), en general la escuela de Nueva York o expresionistas abstractos como Teixidor, Gordillo o Canogar. Podemos ver en este trabajo una reinvención del expresionismo abstracto con ciertos guiños más millenials, con referencias al Street Art y a la cultura contemporánea, colores pop y un enfoque distinto, con mucha inspiración musical. Cada cuadro tiene una canción y una letra relacionada, poesía para crear una historia detrás de los brochazos y crear un efecto sinestésico en el espectador. ..................................................................................................... Back in my university days my artwork was based in street art, graffiti and stencil work with a high political slant. Nowadays my inspiration has developed with depth, conciousness and styles, making my art much more complex. My biggest references are Cy Twombly, the School of New York, and various Spanish artists like Teixidor, Gordillo or Canogar. If you wanna know me as living human here it goes: I was born in Madrid, Spain in 1987, and from a very young age I´ve been completely consumed by art. Having been born into a family with much creativity this further fueled my ambitions to create and learn more. I studied fine arts with the focus on painting, but because of Spains economical climate at the time, I decided to focus on Set Design, combining my passion for fine art with the practical designs for entertainment. After my studies I entered the world of graphic and interior design, working with music and cultural festivals, as well as advertising. This work brought me to where I am now, currently working at an art gallery in Madrid. EDUCATION: Degree in Fine Arts, University of Salamanca, Spain (2005-2010).
