This work is an oil on canvas of 130/97 cm. The title comes from Chris De Burgh’s song. It is a scene of two couples dancing and a girl dressed in red in the middle playing a guitar. It is very cheerful with a lot of color and atmosphere. It is a stunning work because of the postures of the figures and for the bright colors.
My inspiration for this series of compositions of young people dancing with musical instruments came from numerous sketches that I made in the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid where I attended to make drawings from models. The models changed position every 5 or 10 minutes. As I like to paint faces and hands I found that the musical instruments helped me to realise what I wanted.
I would define the artistic style as figurative, expressionist, modern and cheerful. The work focuses on movement, the moment and the joy of living. Full of bold Mediterranean colors, the expressionist works convey the dynamism of a moment to share with the viewer. I consider my works to be accessible yet not facile and arresting yet pleasing.
Matisse, who has been a major influence in my work, said that a great modern conquest has been the secret of expression through colour. It is precisely this secret that I use with oils, combining my intuition, quick strokes and my transgression of the limits of drawing to achieve expressivity in my paintings.

With each new oeuvre I rediscover the joy of beauty and creation. My curiosity about life has led me, in art, to experiment with many methods of plastic expression. But whether I’m working in oil, sculpture or print, it’s all a way of sharing my zest for life, of capturing the instant.

It is precisely this secret that I use with oils, combining my intuition, quick strokes and my transgression of the limits of drawing to achieve expressivity in my paintings.
The subject matter of my work is inspired by my passion for beauty, and shaped by my imagination and personal experiences. This can be seen in the series "The Piano Tuner", which takes us on an exotic journey; in "Ibiza", where the luminosity and atmosphere are more important than the figures, which are more essence than substance; or in "Marrakech", where the atmosphere of jostling and haggling demand that the viewer pause and observe.
Jazz is a spontaneous artistic expression. My love of music has enabled me to capture the movement and the atmosphere in oil as well as in sculpture: my metal musicians emerge from a long mould-making process spontaneously alive and immediate, their motion eternally ‘of the moment’.
In my portraits I want to reflect a person rather than a realistic likeness. This I achieve through expression and gesture both in oil and with printing techniques.
I started printing because I see it as a medium which allows me to always keep my work while sharing it with others again and again! I enjoy the discipline of printing and it has helped me to synthesize my work; again, the long process of making the plates doesn’t stop me seizing the instant.
Each day is filled with moments; each moment reveals its individual flavour and texture, its unique beauty and delight. This constant journey of discovery and rediscovery offers me fresh inspiration to contrive and to share.
