COSTA BRAVA
COLLECTION



A collection of oil pastel pieces inspired by memories of summer by the water.

The feeling of the sun, salt, sea and wind in your skin, in your hair, and in your closed eyelids, the sound of lapping waves in your ears, a gentle smile upon your lips.






Drawing is so connected to travel for me: I feel so inspired by the essence of places, seeing new things, capturing details of buildings, objects, or organic nature. Memories of places visited and imagined.
