She attended San Alejandro Academy of Plastic Arts and Superior Institute of Arts. As well as being a renowned artist, Roca also has spent time as an art teacher for 12-14 year old children. She admires museums and visits them frequently to garner more inspiration from past artists. Roca usually works with either a cardboard or canvas medium but loves the way digital art can reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>This painter\u2019s art is intended to be a reflection of the world seen from her optimistic point of view. She describes her artistic style as Creative Realism. Her topics vary and include such things as women, animals and landscapes. Roca says that the women often resemble her in some way, because she is creating a fantasy world and there is always a bit of herself in that. The thing that ties her art together is her feminine aesthetic and use of bold colors. Roca often uses the light in her paintings to highlight aspects of the scene, giving the entire piece a sense of youthful energy.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Roca\u2019s paintings feature a woman as the main subject. Sometimes they are the only character, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/the-fisherwoman&amp;option_id=17263&amp;bc=1426_1727\"><em>The<\/em> <em>Fisherwoman<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/the-saleswoman-of-flowers&amp;option_id=17255&amp;bc=1426_1727\"><em>The<\/em> <em>Saleswoman of<\/em> <em>Flowers<\/em><\/a>.
