About
Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain
“My work focuses on painting, on its possibilities and on the construction of compositions from the values and qualities of paint itself. I understand painting not only as a medium with which represent reality, but as an end in itself. I see it as an autonomous element that, through its gesturalism, the strokes and the different graphic and aesthetic resources allows us to build artworks to travel through. A language that does not tries to represent something, but that builds spaces in which to exist, endless spaces to roam seeing. I think of the canvas or support as an area to work on, a surface where you try to give your best. To me an artwork is a place to be. A landscape to visit.»
