Meet the Artist
Her aesthetic is organic and natural, seemingly untidy like an English garden. She follows the flower shapes and lets herself get carried away by their forms, guided by the harmony in nature. She mixes foliage and greenery from the countryside with dried, preserved, and recycled materials. Everything revolves around Nature, the greatest source of inspiration that brings energy to our life.
When you arrive, you'll find her studio is a playground of ideas that pushes you to create and have fun while making beautiful things. She says, "The real goal is to enjoy the amazing sensation of self evolution through your artistic path..." Vamos, let's go.

Gugui was a wonderful host. The first day, she drove us out to a forest near Segovia and we hunted for wild flowers, bark, leaves, and other "biophilia" to use in our projects for the rest of the week. From there, Gugui and I collaborated on a number of different pieces, exploring different styles and ways to work with natural materials. She was an excellent host and teacher, and I'm proud of the Read more
