About the Artist

Begoña Morton is from Barcelona. Her style, deeply rooted in the Spanish masters, balances the luminous realism of Sorolla with the timeless structure of Velázquez and the inventive spirit of Picasso. Trained from a young age at one of Spain’s top fine art academies, Begoña developed the rigorous foundational techniques that underpin her entire body of work.

This classical discipline contrasts with a unique analytical past. Begoña holds a master’s degree in international trade and represented Spanish industry in Brussels for over 15 years before making her home in the picturesque surroundings of Virginia. She regularly returns to Europe during summers to paint and travel—a seasonal pilgrimage that continually breathes fresh life and Mediterranean light into her paintings.

Her diverse body of work—spanning classic oils, luminous watercolors, and her original modern series—celebrates her passion for family, food, and travel. An active figure in the art community, Begoña exhibits in curated shows throughout the greater Washington D.C. area. Having sold over 400 original paintings to public and private collectors, she has firmly cemented her reputation as an accomplished and sought-after contemporary artist.
