This is a picture of a reflection in a wood. The result is more abstract , so be it! Sometimes the results is not the one you expect, but I am pleased with it. Also is a way of concentrate more in those uncertain moments that we are living! Thanks for having so much material to work with! Stay safe!

The times we are living are difficult. It feels so strange to be in quarantine at home for weeks and weeks. So many people have died with this virus, it is so sad. This piece has been growing day by day, and it represents the terrible virus, but as it developed, I put a sun at the top, which means that we are going to make it , hopefully our life is going to be better!

This magnolia was made from a picture I took of a real one. I think it came out quite good. The magnolias are my favorite flowers in the spring, they are so humble and beautiful!

This moon was inspired by the moon this week, it was so beautiful! I remembered one shining on the Orinoco River, in Mapire, a small town in the southern Venezuela, where we spend so many summers. I had to recreate it! Good memories! This piece is also going to our Exhibition in May 2020, in Madrid, Spain.

Hooking lines, houses, roofs is interesting! Love to imagine how they are going to become when I take the picture. This time I am playing with the optical illusion of a flower bed in front of the wooden fence, I like it!

This piece is hopefully going to the exhibition in May in Madrid Spain.
