"My relationship with collage goes back thirteen or fourteen years, when I started making notebooks with newspaper and magazine clippings painted with acrylic or watercolor, but in February 2021 I started following Instagram accounts that made collages, I attended an online workshop by María Salan aka "niñapajaro" that I loved. On February 1st I started the @februllage challenge (a collage every day) with a different theme every day. At that time I was living with my children, one with Asperger's syndrome and the other with attention deficit disorder. Although they were and still are adults, daily life is complicated and I alternated it with taking care of my mother with Alzheimer's, who had been in a nursing home for 4 years.

I'm still in the group, I give classes in a place that my partner and I bought, and at the end of 2021 my mother died and collage helped me to grieve.”
