I was born in Zafarraya, a small village in Granada, where the countryside was the setting for my childhood and the place where my outlook began to take shape. As a teenager, marked by a natural rebelliousness, I felt the need to seek new horizons and moved to Granada with a clear goal: to study art. There I discovered disciplines such as photography, engraving, painting, ceramics and glasswork, practices that had a profound impact on me and have continued to accompany me over the years.
Sewing, which had always been present in my life in a more discreet way, thanks to my mother, began to take centre stage when I delved into the study of historical costume, pattern making and design. That was the point at which all my interests came together and my aesthetic began to take shape: a reinterpretation of the costumes of past centuries filtered through my rocker spirit and my understanding of rebellion.
Over time, thanks to constant work and the support of many people who believed in me, I have seen this path gain momentum. Today, I am fortunate to have recognition, projects and events that value what I do, and to continue building my own language where tradition, artistic avant-garde and experimentation coexist in each piece.
