Expressive Portraits

I’m not a master when making portraits. Believe me, I tried endless times to recreate facial expressions, but I admit is not my forte. But there is something about this expressive portraits faces that just fascinates me. Some how they just detach from the model and acquire a life for their own. I have them at my shop for you to admire and take one home.

Is the detachment of what is supposed to look like and embracing the true self. Is also about being different as a powerful woman. About being unique without apologies.

Each of my portraits tell the story of a strong woman that is willing embrace life to the fullest.

You can find the portraits on paper at my shop!!

The magic of Barcelona

Well, here is the second part of my trip to Europe, this time is about the magic of Barcelona. We only stayed there for 3 days, the first time for my son and the second time for me. Barcelona is until today, my favorite city in Spain, es eclectic, historic, natural, artistic and full of wonderful things to see and eat.

You will eat very well in Barcelona, from tapas and bocaditos, to paellas and delicious deserts. We went to La Colmena, Cervecería Catalana, El Quim de la Boquería, and others. A trip to mercado de La Boqueria is mandatory, is an espectacular place to experience the culinary world of Barcelona. When you think you can’t eat anything else, you will find something unique that you can’t refuse.

Full of Architectonic details, Barcelona never cease to amaze , specially visiting Gaudí’s wanders.

We also went to an amazing orchestra concert in Santa Maria del Mar Basilica. I have to say, I cried, yes, a lot, it was a mixture of acoustics, excellent classical music and the fact that I was there, sharing this moment with my son. Again, the magic of Barcelona.

Last, but not least, let me tell you about Park Güell. It was my second time here, and this time I really took the time to enjoy it to the fullest. It is filled with flowers and herbs in a special garden. It is more than just a park, is a true treasure in the middle of the city. We walked, we talked and we dreamed about the future.

I love Barcelona, and I will visit her again for sure!!!! Would you visit Barcelona too?
