Every artist has a nerve, that invisible thread that runs through everything they create. It’s not about technique or aesthetics alone. It’s about the obsession beneath the surface. The thing that keeps you awake at night. Recently, I took time to reflect on the deeper meaning behind my work. Not the brushstrokes. Not the materials. But the story I’ve been telling over and over again without even noticing. These are my answers. 1. My Obsessions Power. Female beauty. Quiet rebellion. Glamour as armor. Iconography. The female gaze. Legacy. Cultural codes. Emotional transformation. The performance of elegance. The thread that runs [...]

In recent years, the term “female gaze” has become increasingly visible across museums, galleries, and cultural platforms. It’s often mentioned in press releases and exhibition texts, but what does it actually mean?

A New Era in Oil Exploring timeless beauty through layered oil painting For as long as I can remember, there has always been an easel somewhere in my home. A quiet witness in the corner of the room, surrounded by paint, brushes, and the quiet hum of a canvas waiting to be transformed. Long before I became a full-time artist, I painted in oil. I loved the texture, the slow movement of the brush, the way the pigments seemed to breathe with the light. Oil painting has always felt like coming home. But when my children were young, I [...]

There are moments when creativity flows beyond its boundaries, when a painting transforms into jewelry, and together they embody a greater purpose. My work Bijoux d’Océan is one such moment. From Canvas to Earrings Bijoux d’Océan was born on paper, created to capture the shimmering strength and elegance of the ocean. This artwork soon became the muse for Otazu Jewelry, inspiring a pair of earrings that translated my visual world into a tangible, wearable piece. Through this transformation, brushstrokes turned into design, art became adornment. A Sparkling Collaboration This project was not the first time our creative paths intertwined. [...]

Yesterday I watched a beautiful film, La Venue de l’avenir. What struck me most was its subtle reminder that the future cannot be seen in isolation; it is always tied to the past. The film unfolded around the idea that history does not simply disappear, but instead resurfaces in the present, in new forms, under new guises. One of its most moving threads was the way it referenced the great masters of Impressionism, and how they were once dismissed, even ridiculed, for their work. In the late nineteenth century, painters like Monet and Renoir were mocked for creating what [...]
