I am the product of an artistic heritage: I grew up among canvases, museums, and the legacy of women who taught me to transform life into an explosion of color and memory.

My approach to fashion stems from the direct influence of my mother and grandmother. Since I was a child, observing my mother's paintings, I developed a strong taste for combining vibrant, complementary colors and incorporating playful, striking prints. From my grandmother's example, I learned the importance of detail and ornamentation: her rings and earrings were not just accessories, but an extension of her identity, a way to express presence and personality.

These experiences taught me to value how every element, from color to accessories, can tell a story and give character to an outfit, thus translating my inherited artistic sensitivity into the language of fashion.

Currently, as a designer, I work by exploring my African roots—a part of my history with which I have not had direct contact, but have been able to discover through photos, family stories, and documentation. This cultural duality between my Spanish and African roots has allowed me to grow with ideas and references from both sides, combining the sensitivity and artistic heritage of my mother and grandmother with the exploration of a part of myself that I am still getting to know. I pay special attention to African designs and how great designers have reinterpreted those traditions, which inspires me to incorporate elements from these cultures into my work.

An example is Virgil Abloh, whose work I deeply admire—his ability to bring his identity and cultural heritage into contemporary streetwear, transforming fashion into a space for dialogue between the artistic, the social, and the personal. His work inspires me to understand design as a tool to reclaim one's roots and build bridges between cultures. I am also inspired by artists like Romare Bearden, whose collages I discovered as a child. His way of joining fragments together to create a visual narrative has always fascinated me, and it feels close to me because my own life is also a collage: a little bit from here and a little bit from there.

My strength as a designer lies in my creativity: I always have new ideas in constant motion, which allows me to generate fresh and diverse proposals. Since childhood, I have been tied to the street aesthetic, an influence that was born from my passion for basketball and from observing the outfits players wore when arriving at their games. That urban, free, and authentic style has become a fundamental foundation of my work, which I combine with my cultural roots and my artistic heritage.
