Amor Propio (2021) Painting by Olivia Caballero González

My artistic curriculum is very short compared to that of other artists, and this is because it is linked to my personal biography and not to my professional one.

I am a self-taught artist, born in Madrid in April 1980. There is no memory since my childhood in which I have not drawn, painted or developed some type of creation related to manual art: from plasticine to DIY, including, of course, drawing and painting.< br />Since I can remember, I have been in a continuous process of artistic development and this translates into a wide variety of styles and techniques, which in many cases have evolved or disappeared.

Diversity, disorder and chaos: My works could have been done by several people with different profiles, and coexistence between them is sometimes difficult even for my eyesight, but I can't help but be inspired by different images or situations that go unnoticed or are not followed by many people. a logical order. I am a passionate woman who works by crush.

I consider myself a positive person with the environment, very self-critical with myself. I value staying in the background (and even going unnoticed) but I have the ability to always see and perceive the best in each person. My "Muses" appear and disappear around every corner.

People who really know me describe me as a real person, that is, that I am who I am at all times, without any kind of pretense or mask. Sometimes too bright and other times too quiet. I have a lot of inner life; maybe too much!

I painted my first oil at the age of seven, although by that time I had already mastered charcoal thanks to private classes that my parents were able to afford me with great effort. At eight, I began my journey in the world of children's exhibitions and competitions at the hands of great people to whom I will always be grateful.

During adolescence I devoted myself to drawing with a pen, in this case, with a surreal theme flirting with gore. Sometimes I would design tattoos for my friends. Every time someone I know from that time tells me that they remember my drawings a lot, I can't help but get emotional.

Although I have never completely given up, I took up oil painting again around 2005, taking it beyond domestic limits in 2014, that is, when I stopped painting to decorate my home and opened up again to the world of exhibitions and competitions.

Currently, art is part of my daily routine, given which is what I dedicate most of my nights to.

My works lack high artistic pretensions. I like to transmit sensations, that the observer makes his imagination work. Each work has a reason, and moments of my life and all the thoughts that accompanied me during its creation are carried in each brushstroke. They are like my little diaries.
