I have always been a person with extreme curiosity.

I must say that anything that comes into my hands challenges me and immediately triggers my curiosity. That curiosity has led me throughout my life to become obsessed with an infinite number of things, but I have discovered that some of those things are rooted in my memory, and are permanently recurring.

This discovery about my recurring thoughts made me understand that the basis of my work was there: I am what I create. In a true play on words (in Spanish words believe and create are spelled the same way), my being materializes around my creed, in its strictest sense, and is consolidated in the demiurgic fact. I create based on what I believe.

 

In this sense, my work has focused mainly on three anaphoric aspects that are transversal to my personal and professional life. I have explored geometric abstraction through the implementation of generative rules, constructing topographies where the protagonists are geometry and color, and I highlight the abstract representation of reality as a universal form of language, aspects clearly inherited from my training as an architect. Through my work I question the collective cultural memory, its fragility, the absences, the permanences and the resignifications of the architectural heritage as a condensation of that memory.

Finally, in my current work, I delve into my personal history, linking childhood memories, my upbringing in a Catholic school, bullying, sexual orientation, gender, the male body and queer culture, as catalysts, and I borrow classic iconographic elements, giving the representations a new personal and universal meaning at the same time.

 

In the creative process, the materiality of my works has not been exempt from my curiosity. I am self-taught, I investigate, I learn, I make mistakes. Although most of my work uses painting (oil, acrylic, gouache and watercolor) as a technique, I use other techniques that are equally dear to me, such as photography, embroidery and ceramics.

 

I am convinced that the work of art is built between the artist and the observer. And although my work carries an implicit meaning, the artistic fact is completed by the observer, who interprets it and gives it a new meaning, thus creating endless possibilities.
