Contemplative Artist

​My artwork has influence from Eastern contemplative traditions where art was closely linked to the spiritual quest for understanding consciousness and developing a deeper wisdom as embodied through forms such as Zen calligraphy and Sumi-e, which emphasized painting with mindfulness, concentration and presence.

​
Mi obra de arte tiene influencia de las tradiciones contemplativas orientales donde el arte estuvo estrechamente relacionado con la búsqueda espiritual de comprensión de la conciencia y  el desarrollo de una sabiduría más profunda manifestada a través de formas como la caligrafía Zen y el Sumi-e, que enfatizan la pintura con atención, concentración y presencia.

Art Teacher

I teach international courses on Contemplative Art, Art as Meditation, Mindful Watercolor Sketching, Clay and Emotions, in which I guide my students toward the source of their creativity, and helping them find their motivation for making art. I offer a therapeutic approach to working with the mind and emotions during my courses, applying millennia-old Eastern principles to approach creativity with mindfulness.

Coaching
​
I offer a few private coaching sessions in person and online in which I help my students reflect on their lives and relationships and design a meditation daily practice and a creative way of expressing their emotions. My passion for coaching was born from a decade of teaching Art and Meditation courses and be requested by people and my teachers to offer guidance to aspiring meditation practitioners as well as experienced practitioners wishing to embark into group and solitary retreats.
