Since always, I like drawing and painting, which I did a lot until going to college and study Philosophy and Psychology.
I studied Aesthetics and Psychology of art and that was my main subject, with a thesis on Turner.
Then, I began teaching Phil/Psy, only drawing occasionally, but when my daughter was born, I felt the growing need to draw and painting her.
I still love Phil/Psy, but its cerebrality was muffling the emotion art needs to grow and which my daughter existence unveiled. Again .

I have always loved the paintings that fill London Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery. I studied in England, and frequently visited Europe to see the art in their galleries. I have learned to appreciate more modern approaches to painting and drawing, but the epitome of light, color, composition satisfaction for me are in the paintings that fill the Louvre, and so many of Europe’s galleries. But my tutors pushed ideas, concept and theory over practical, traditional skills taught.
I completed my Bachelors without knowing what complimentary colors were, how to use my pencil as a measuring device when doing a life study. …
