I am a multidisciplinary artist with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Granada. During my studies, I spent a year in Istanbul, Turkey, where I specialized in traditional wax carving techniques for jewelry. I later continued my artistic education in Taiwan, focusing on other creative disciplines. After graduating, I worked as a designer, art educator, and visual artist in countries such as Greece, Mexico, and Italy. At the age of 29, while living in Palermo and working as a visual creative designer, I was selected for a paid program supported by Fondazione Cologni, an Italian foundation promoting art and craftsmanship. Through this initiative, I was sent to Malta to learn traditional filigree techniques. There, I also completed a jewelry course at MCAST, the Malta College of Arts, and have since dedicated myself to developing handcrafted artisan jewelry.
