I am thrilled to have won the Best International Artist in the Visual Artists Association Artist of the Year Award 2025. This is the second time that my painting, Carnes y Embutidos (Valencia), has been selected for an International Art Prize. Last year it was shortlisted for the BBA Artist Prize and exhibited in Berlin. A big thank you to the VAA Artist of the Year Award judges for awarding me this wonderful prize.
