"Añoro" is an evocative exploration of longing and unrequited love, captured through the rich depths of ultramarine blue. The woman depicted in the piece reaches out with tender desperation, her hand outstretched towards a vast, infinite sea of blue—seeking to grasp and kiss the unyielding waters. The ocean, endless and cold, mirrors the emotional distance between her and the lost love she yearns for. The work speaks to an ache that transcends time and space, representing a desire for something that could never be—an unreturned affection, a love that was never reciprocated. Through this poignant imagery, the piece captures the quiet intensity of longing, an emotional embrace of what was, what could have been, and what will never be.

"Onda" is a captivating watercolor painting that explores the complex, disorienting emotions of desire. The female figure in the artwork, draped in flowing blue hues, represents the overwhelming sensation of being consumed by a wave of longing—a force both intoxicating and suffocating. The veil of blue is not only a physical covering but also a metaphor for the distortion of perception, clouding the viewer's ability to see the situation clearly. As desire intensifies, it can blur the lines between love and infatuation, leaving the subject trapped in a whirlwind of emotions. The figure’s posture and presence evoke a sense of drowning, a struggle to breathe under the weight of unreciprocated feelings. The contrast of the calmness of the figure with the tumultuous, swirling blue tones reflects the tension between desire’s allure and the harsh reality that it is often one-sided. Through this visual expression, "Onda" speaks to the powerful, yet sometimes destructive, force of desire when it is not returned.

The piece reflects the artist's meditation on how women’s bodies are deeply attuned to nature, yet much about them remains hidden or misunderstood.
