Pepa’s heart is a declaration of love, painted through her brushes, to all those places that hold a special place in her heart.

Her prints are being sold among others, at the MoMA store in New York City. She is currently living between Madrid and New York.
Her series of cities are compositions made up of representative buildings and icons all put together from her unique perspective. “My technique is the result of combining oil paint with small paper cutouts that I find to incorporate into the painting. My palette is made up of bright and cheerful colors. Sometimes I’m asked if my art is done digitally to which I reply: ‘No, my art is done the traditional way, with oil paint, a brush and …. lots of love’.
