You can call me home.

One week ago we have moved into our new home. I spent a lot of time over the past months looking for it, looking for a space where to set my new studio, have a garden and enjoy nature more.
The beginning has been hard and tested us a fair bit but I am glad that the potential we saw on the first visit is still here.
The village is only 30 minutes away by train to Barcelona and the house is an old masia, with  a fireplace and a woodburning stove in the studio.
I have many new ceramic pieces and etchings to show you but I am first trying to figure out my new routine.
My 2013 resolutions include "To enjoy being alone and not fear it" and " To believe in myself more than I believe in others".
With that in mind I wish you all a good 2013!

Dreaming...

I had a bunch of things I always could count on, a few friends, a few strong deep relationships.
They broke down. Maybe time, maybe me, maybe them.
This is a very grey fall here in Cataluña and for the very first time since I finished my degree I am doing nothing but drawing, painting, sculpting with ceramic, using the pottery wheel, making etchings, taking pictures. I am trying hard to give love back to the only one thing that is ALWAYS on my side, art.
I still cannot stop thinking about all the great people I feel I have lost on the road but then I wake up in the morning and have only one wish: create. My head is wondering and my creativity is going strange places.
I had a terrible nightmare last night, I dreamt that I was the chosen to be Satan's prophet, his left arm. I was there with a wounded Jesus, drinking shots of something that tasted like Bailey's with dark red blood, the blood of the devil. I was in a church full of lit candles and suddenly I decided that no matter the amazing "job offer" I was not ready to accept it and I took Jesus back to his destiny, to be killed but then also resurrect and be the superstar in so many people's life.(?!?)
I woke up and of course I could no go back to sleep.
I am almost always lucky enough to remember my dreams but this one was particularly extravagant, I might admit...
I have no idea of what it means but when I was having breakfast I had a thought...Is it possible that all the great friends in my life left me behind because they got a glance of what is in my head?!?

Travelling will keep you young.




We just came back from a road trip to Asturies and I am already missing it. Even if I know the weather is far from being that nice everyday of the year I am starting to wonder what it would be like to live there. Somehow the landscape and the people manage to make me feel immediately at home...
