Although I didn’t dedicate my professional career to art, it has always been an important part of my life. My main path has been in science, but alongside it, I’ve continuously explored drawing and painting through different stages and projects.

The first of these, Letrazos, was a collaboration with a writer friend during my undergraduate years: I created illustrations for his poems and stories, experimenting with pen, pencil, watercolour, acrylic, and digital media. Between 2019 and 2021, I began to focus more seriously on painting, studying colour through acrylics. In the past two years, my main interest has shifted to oil painting and charcoal — the two techniques that currently engage me most. My work has centred on realism, especially portraits and everyday scenes, as a way to refine technique and perception. Now, I feel ready to move beyond representation: to deconstruct realism and search for a more personal and expressive visual language. In the coming months, my goal is to continue this search and to define a direction for my own artistic style.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have pursued a career in quantum physics and quantum computing. I studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Barcelona, completed a master’s in Theoretical Physics at the University of Leiden, and obtained my PhD at ICFO, where I studied theoretical models of quantum many-body phases of matter. I am now a researcher at IBM Quantum, developing algorithms for quantum computing.
