Hair and Makeup Artist Monolog I’m originally from Spain and have had the incredible opportunity to travel the world as a model. This was my big school for my job now plus my studies in interior architecture and technical drawing. I have always had a faible for aesthetic, and it brings me joy to help others discovered they own unique beauty. I’m inspired by many things.The quiet. Timeless of Beauty old paintings by Velazquez or the sensuality Botticelli captures in his Venus . this moments remind me of the elegance. I immerse myself in creativity specially when I create something with my hands it allows me to express the beauty and diversity of people in a very personal way . In this job Something unexpected happens almost every day when a team come together. There is a special energy emotions intuition and often lead to ideas that no one could have planned or imagined . those spontaneous are something real and beautiful . And what I most love about my work is the constant surprise amazed by the results ! Authenticity is the key Passion is the context Creativity is the result This pictures are made from great world famous photographers like Claus Wickrath Deborah Turbeville (John C Jay )Marianne Chemetov, Günther Parth ,Ursula Kraft , Daniella Stallinger, Jose Manuel Ferrater , Michael Horowitz,Elfie Semotan, Joseph Hunwick, Marjolijn de Groot , @carineroitfeld as #stylest (in some of the fotos )

. My friend, my hero, my mentor. Always guiding me when I need it most ❤️ 人は、自分たちの価値観や理解できる範囲の中に、 他人を当てはめようとする。 「あなたはこういう人」「あなたにはここまで」と、 知らず知らずのうちに“枠”をつくってしまう。 John自身も長い間、その枠に自分を合わせようとしてきた。 でも、時間を重ね、経験を積み、自信を持てるようになって気づいた。 「あなたに、私を定義する権利はない。 自分が何者なのかを決めるのは、私自身の仕事だから。」 肩書きや、他人からどう見られるかではなく、 自分の可能性を自分で限定しないこと。 誰かがつくった“箱”の中に、自分を収めようとしないこと。 それがJohnが伝えている「Life Lesson」 @john_c_jay @theoneclubforcreativity

Every industry has its heroes. Last night, we welcomed seven extraordinary legends into The One Club Creative Hall of Fame. Sitting in that room and listening to their stories reminded me why I love this industry so much. The people, the ideas, and the value of TRUE creativity. What struck me most was not just what they created, but what they gave back. The people they mentored. The doors they opened. The generations they inspired. Perhaps the most beautiful part of a creative life is that we may never know how far our influence travels. Someone we mentored becomes the mentor. An idea we created echoes in someone else’s imagination. And what we create becomes inspiration for someone we may never meet. Congratulations to our 2026 Creative Hall of Fame inductees Rosie Arnold, Janet Champ, John C Jay, Caroline R. Jones, Joyce King Thomas, and Piyush Pandey, Michael Conrad, and Apple. Thank you to @TheOneClubforCreativity Board for continuing to protect what this honor means and champion the creative community we all believe in. We are all heirs to their legacy

Thank you @theoneclubforcreativity for inviting me back to celebrate the Creative Hall of Fame inductees, after being a winner of Young Guns YG11 several years ago. Last night was one for the legends. These titans created (and, continues to create) some of the most incredible cultural moments (and, movements) in the last few decades. Meeting @john_c_jay, @rosiearnold, Janet Champ, Joyce King Thomas ('priceless'), and @wongrobert in the flesh and conversing with them really adds context to impact. Reuniting with @paolantonelli reminded me of some homework to send her! Yesterday, their speeches and montages of their life works reminded me of the importance of storytelling, friendship, and how decade(s) long of collaborations with humans (real people) is so core to community and design. Humbled to have been amongst you.
