Discourse [41.3777, 2.1416] is a mirror covered ring with the same shape and dimensions as the fountains in the lake of the Parc d'Espanya Industrial in Barcelona. The art installation was originally created for the ephemeral and site specific onsite exhibition I curated in July this year. After the event, I decided to create a journey … Continue reading The Discourse Project

Ring shaped mirror on grass The idea behind this installation was born with my fascination with the circular unused fountains found in the lake at the Parc d’Espanya Industrial. This ring was adopted as a base for my own structure using the same dimensions of the fountain itself. The structure was then covered with mirror … Continue reading Discourse [41.3777, 2.1416]

An ongoing artistic investigation on beginnings and endings... Some thoughts: I loved my father. His life ended. I was a carefree and ambitious art student. That life ended. I was young and free. That life ended. My daughter was born. Motherhood started. My father life ended whilst I was pregnant. My son’s life hadn’t even … Continue reading A Narrative of Edges
This morning woke up to this view...
Last weekend, we spent a relaxed weekend with friends (and kids) in a beautiful masia on the outskirts of Llagostera. Sent the kids up to their huge room for a pyjama party and the adults finally got some time to ourselves. Whilst we chatted and debated, I sometimes stopped and just looked around. And then started taking these photographs … Continue reading On the Rocks

Pause. Feel connected. Reach out. I've been feeling grounded recently. It feels good. It feels natural. I feel more aware of myself, my faults, other people's faults. It's ok. With perspective it's understandable. From a distance it's not painful. It's the way we are wired. It's ok. I was eating a tangerine whilst speaking to … Continue reading the Universe Within
A few days ago I had a couple of hours to myself, free from kids, free from obligations. I didn't have to react to anything, I could act on whatever I wanted. I took a long hot shower, listened to Chopin and just relaxed. I wanted to save this moment, so I took a photo … Continue reading Meditation. Inspiration. Self.
I love it when it rains. Outside, all sounds are muted, all looks grey, everybody seems to be dressed in black. Inside, I'm floating inside my little bubble. I can smell the rain, feel the rain, I am the rain. I am melancholic, I'm grey, no masks on, I'm clean, I'm alive. The rain leaves, … Continue reading The Rain
There was a bottle. A bottle that contained a special smell. A few minutes ago the bottle broke. The smell has gone. The bottle belonged to my father. He too has gone. He has gone to the sea, the bottle is in the bin. I am here. #nofilter #noeffects #broken #grief #loss #memory #videoart … Continue reading The Bottle
Inspiration I: a Balloon of Gold Dust, Perfume and Glitter This has probably been my best week in a very long time... I had a lovely catch up with fellow artist / personal inspiration Rebecca Lyne, then had another great talk with another amazing artist Ely Daou and finished off the week by going to … Continue reading On Inspiration (series)
First I was melancholic, then I was sad, then I found some way to express myself. I was baffled as I didn't understand what I was up to. I called the pieces Untitled and moved on. Making the pieces made me feel in tune with myself and I got inspired and my energy came back. … Continue reading Conclusion – New Life
In my visual language, darkness is not something to be scared about, or something to stay away from. Darkness can be comforting, it is an unknown, but a comfortable or even friendly unknown and this is shown in the warm and rich hues it which it is embedded. In this picture, Coming out of the … Continue reading Coming out of the Dark
I can feel your energy My father was my mentor, the one who really shaped my perspective about life, love and all things abstract. He was also a friend who whom I could debate and learn from life's many lessons. He's given me ambition, thought me how to think out of the box and follow … Continue reading Ode to a loved soul
The second year of my father's passing away is fast approaching. This is bringing a whole new set on unknown emotions to the surface which I am trying to process. Am I feeling melancholic? Am I at peace with his death? I know that I miss him and try to fit his presence in my … Continue reading Connecting Energies

..and the final shot, which looks like a man's profile using the negative space.
I am unto something, but I don't know what it is yet.. all I know is that it's ephemeral. During my late father's sickness I worked on a series of painting and ideas called "energies" whereby I tried to express my feeling of having one life form passed on to another, whereby energy does not … Continue reading Ephemeral: On Mussels & Barnacles II
Whilst on a family road trip in Galicia during the Summer we went to the beautiful Playa de Los Catedrales. Although I loved the scenery and the geological architecture, it's what the low tide uncovered that got me excited. I fell in love with the colors and textures and hope I'll manage to produce … Continue reading Ephemeral: On Mussels & Barnacles I
As you might remember last year on the 27th July, my darling father had passed away. Three months later my beautiful son, Tommy, was born. I had made one post to welcome and introduce him and then went quiet, for a very long time. Even though I haven't totally made peace with my father's death, … Continue reading Xardíns de Mosquera Pérez
Following last post, these are some photos taken of my husband and daughter on a Petit Catalá.
We spent the weekend by the seaside in the Costa Dorada (Spain). It was sunny, cool and practically uninhabited... Great! This is one of the photos I took of the typical Catalan small catamarans waiting to sail again at the beach of Altafulla.
