My source of inspiration has always been nature, the countryside, gestural painting, abstract expressionism. I have mostly worked with paint on paper, using various graphic techniques (engraving, lithography, wood cuts). My work has always been abstract, even when making figurative art. I normally drift into the abstract even when the motif is figurative. In recent years, I have been working a lot on artist books and photographic processes in lithography. Courses in engraving, lithography and binding, with the recent addition of traditional jewellery, in the 'elpalitoedita' workshop (founded in 2010). Workshops open to the public have been organised to raise awareness of graphic art, such as the 'open-door' with the colour engraving course. We have also had various exhibitions of art created during the workshops.
