My journey into sustainable recycled art with Nespresso coffee capsules began with a simple idea, fueled by a deep and enduring passion. I started collecting my own Nespresso coffee capsules and other coffee pods for my art. At the heart of my work is a strong commitment to sustainability. I believe in protecting our planet and using our resources responsibly. That's why I create art using recycled materials, primarily used coffee capsules, broken ceramic glasses, tiles, etc., and unique antique frames filled with epoxy resin or plaster. I do not repair, polish, or repaint the frames. I embarrass their imperfections. Many are damaged, aged, or worn, and each telling its own story. I preserve their original character, allowing them to merge naturally with my vision. The result is authentic, one-of-a-kind pieces that speaks to beauty, imperfection, and renewable. Every sustainable artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and is proudly stamped under my name. 

Now live part-time in Marbella, where I give personal attention to every detail. My approach is grounded in quality, integrity, and a deep commitment to excellence. Each piece I create reflects my belief that art should be meaningful, sustainable, and uniquely personal.
