The Convergence of Three Visions – My Artistic Path in Sotogrande

Sotogrande is becoming a place where contemporary visual arts are gaining presence and meaning. In a recent interview with SGplus, I had the chance to reflect on my own artistic journey, the importance of community, and why investing in culture matters here. This article is my personal continuation of that conversation.

My Perspective

The interview in SGplus was not simply about presenting my work again. It was a moment to pause and ask a deeper question: why do we create today, and where does it truly matter?

My paintings often take on a minimalist form, usually in black and white. This is a conscious decision. By reducing color and ornament, I allow the structure, rhythm, and inner energy of the work to speak. Silence and simplicity can sometimes be louder than an excess of visual noise.

Why Sotogrande?

Moving to Sotogrande was not only a change of location, it was a shift in atmosphere. Here I found a space for dialogue: between artists, between viewers, and with the place itself. Sotogrande is both cosmopolitan and rooted, and this duality fuels artistic exploration.

In the conversation with Henriette Hanson and Juan Sierra, I realized that although our approaches differ, we are united by the same pursuit — authenticity. Each of us searches through our own medium, but the essence is shared.

Community and Challenges

Art is often a solitary endeavor, yet in Sotogrande I discovered something rare: a network of support and collaboration. That collective energy is powerful, and it inspires growth.

At the same time, challenges remain. Cultural infrastructure is still fragile, events are not always visible to a wider audience, and the seasonal rhythm of the community can make continuity difficult. But the potential here is undeniable. Sotogrande only needs to embrace the idea that art is not an accessory to life — it is its core.

Looking Ahead

I see the road ahead with excitement. I want to continue evolving, exhibiting, and sharing my work with those who are willing to pause and engage with it. Painting, for me, is not self-expression alone; it is a dialogue with the viewer. Each person who stands before a canvas brings their own history and completes the work in a unique way.

Conclusion

Sotogrande holds all the elements to become a true reference point for contemporary art on the Costa del Sol. The artists are here, the audience is here, and the energy of the place is undeniable. What remains is to build stronger bridges — so that these worlds meet and grow together.
