Paintings
2022
I continue to work on cradled wood panels and recently, more on paper. I continue to combine paint and collage, using paints I make with powdered pigments, powdered graphite, and acrylic mediums. I especially like working with cochineal and indigo that I grind myself. The crumbs of these pigments become embedded in my brushes and create lines which become an integral part of my work.
The collage elements that I use are scraps of my old paintings on paper, of various sizes. Some are oriental papers, very fine and thin, others are handmade papers, quite thick. Some are very small and others are larger. Some scraps of paper I have been carrying with me for over 20 years.

Sigo pintando sobre madera. Continúo combinando pintura y collage, utilizando principalmente pinturas que hago con pigmentos en polvo y medios acrílicos. Me gusta especialmente trabajar con cochinilla y índigo que me muelen. Las migajas de estos pigmentos se incrustan en mis pinceles y crean líneas que se convierten en una parte integral de mi trabajo.
Los elementos del collage que utilizo son recortes de mis pinturas antiguas sobre papel, de varios tamaños. Unos son papeles orientales, muy finos y delgados, otros son papeles hechos a mano, bastante gruesos. Algunos son muy pequeños y otros son más grandes. Unos trozos de papel que llevo conmigo desde hace más de 20 años..
