Mon chien Tweedy Painting by Marian Cobos

Like all those who love Art, my penchant for beauty created in me the need to express myself in one way or another from a very young age by drawing with everything that came to hand. .
As a teenager I drew with a lead pencil but without ever picking up a brush. It wasn’t until I was 30 that I started painting in oils. As an autodidact, I copied from nature, photos or paintings and this is how I arrived, around ten years later, to discover the earth completely by chance!! Touch the material, model it, create in three dimensions. It was a real revelation: the transition from plan to volume produced no problem for me, I would even say that I discovered the technique which adapted most naturally to my needs for expression.
I attended several courses with sculptors to acquire some basics and since then, when circumstances allow me, I take immense pleasure in modeling, without leaving painting and especially drawing human or animal portraits in pastel. I also made forays into watercolor, which is still very difficult for me to master but whose transparency and spontaneity I love.
In parallel with all this, I had the enormous chance to learn and practice for two years in Seville, the reproduction of ceramic panels painted using Arab-Andalusian and Portuguese techniques, in the workshop of one of the greatest Andalusian ceramists.
I also created murals and decorative painting on glass in imitation stained glass.
