THE JOURNEY BETWEEN SANTIAGO AND LONDON
-
When I was 4 years old, I felt pure happiness contemplating the sea in Algarrobo, Chile. The rhythm of the waves, the salty breeze, and the vast horizon gave me a sense of peace that I could never quite put into words, but I knew even then that the beach was where I felt most at home. Alongside it, painting became my way of capturing the beauty of the world around me. Those early moments shaped my passions, and they still do today.

On 12 September 2012, I was asked to swear and affirm my allegiance to the Queen and the United Kingdom. I was granted the right to hold a British passport and officially became a British citizen. I feel proud to have British nationality because this country has accepted me as one of its own. It is now my home, and I’m honored to be a part of its diverse and rich history. Being British isn’t just about holding citizenship; it’s about the sense of belonging, the opportunities I’ve been given, and the pride I feel in being part of a country that values both its heritage and its future.

TWO PAINTINGS COLLECTED BY RAFFLES HOTEL AT THE OWO
Winston Churchill at the Old War Office
Winston Churchill played a significant role at the Old War Office in Whitehall, working within its walls during key moments of British history. As Secretary of State for War in 1919, he managed post-WWI military affairs, and during World War II, he frequently worked there, coordinating Britain’s war strategy. Though his main wartime base was the Cabinet War Rooms, the Old War Office remained a crucial site where Churchill shaped military decisions that defined the era.
I feel very proud that two of my paintings have been collected to be part of the Art Collection of this iconic and emblematic building.

LONDON LIGHT IN THE EYES OF J.M.W. TURNER
Few artists have captured the essence of light as poetically as Joseph Mallord William Turner. His depictions of London are bathed in a golden haze, where the city disolves into a dream of mist and brilliance. For Turner, light was not merely an element of nature -it was the very soul of a place, shifting and shimmering with an almost spiriual intensity. This British artist has been a great inspiration in my path as an artist.

PAINTING IN SITU, EASTBOURNE
Painting In Situ: Capturing The Essence of a Place
Painting In Situ -directly on location- immerses the artist in the raw, unfiltered energy of a place. This approach demands an immediate response to the shifting light, the changing weather, and the subtle movements of life unfolding in real time. It is an act of precense, a conversation between the artist and the landscape.

PAINTING IN SITU, CORNWALL
The Cornwall Coast: A Painter's Inspiration
The ragged coastline of Cornwall has long been a magnet for artists, drawn to its dramatic cliffs, golden beaches and ever-changing light. Here, the Atlantic meets the land with resless energy -waves touching against weathered rocks, tides carved new forms into the shore. For landscape painters Cornwall is a place of endless inspiration, where the elements conspire to create scenes of both wild power and serene beauty.

BREAKFAST IN EASTBOURNE
Breakfast at Tiffany's is an old movie with Audrey Hepburn and also a song, but what I really love is to have breakfast by the sea after a long bike ride along the coast.
