“Always among colorful paintings … but … let me tell you a story …
When I was six my parents took me to the doctor convinced that I was deaf. After making the necessary tests, the doctor didn’t find any problems in my ears. I was just a Little girl in my world of color and when I drew I was lost in the confines of fantasy.
The first work came immediately, after finishing the school of design. Although after five years in that Company I learned more military discipline than technique.
My second job was different, there I was twelve sweet years, working from sunrise to sunset but satisfied by the work developed.
We, the creative director and me, strived side by side. She’s an extraordinary and talented woman who carried the art in the blood. We enjoyed each other’s company and learned from her everything I could. But a disease took her in a few months, it made me feel completely lonely. Her lack and subsequently the crisis finished to beat the once fertile and successful company. God knows that I remember he on numerous occasions and that when something good happens to me, I feel that she rejoices from whenever she is.
After working for several brands, I realized how successful my creations were. So I decided once and for all to take the reins of my life and cannel it where I wanted, and not to let myself carried like the waves of the sea.
