Because art makes us free. Art breaks boundaries and it brings us closer to everything through feeling, sight, sensations. Art heals, thrills, survives and crosses all frontiers.
And I want to carry on painting life.
SHŌEN
Sometimes I stop to observe life, just as if it was a work of art. I find its nuances in the tiny details, just like in the master pieces that transcend and continue to move us over the years. Because this is the real power of art: the one that excites us.
Art is not gender-based, it is ageless, it doesn’t have an expiry date. It is a vibration, an emotion that is born, it is a current that flows and runs through my body, like lightening loaded with electricity that guides my hands towards the white canvas to create a new reality.
And it was painting that this Japanese woman used to break down borders, which made me understand the real recipe of life: flow through what excites us, what inspires us, what makes us happy.

Shine with our own light, paint life in colours and leave our mark on the world through our ability to create. That is my ikigai, my raison d´être, my way of being happy.
THATS
IS
MY
IKIGAI,
MY
REASON
TO
BE,
MY
WAY
OF
BEING
HAPPY.
