Madrid, 1990
I feel attracted to the daily things, the moments that we overlook because they don’t seem important but that in my opinion, contain the whole sense; The silences, the looks, the gestures, the slow paces… I like to observe the interaction among strangers in any place, moment and circumstance, and to discover how the specific cultural codes determine the way we live, think and communicate with the world.
My tools are the camera, the pen and the paintbrush, tough I’ve done in the past some printing techniques such as lithography, transfer and engraving. The support is very important to me, and that’s why I test a great variety of papers from the whole world.
In 2020 I also started working regularly with digital techniques (procreate and photoshop), which allowed me to develop different styles closer to animation and kids illustration.
My travels are my way to find new inspiration and projects, though, if you pay attention, any place and moment is good to discover a story worth telling.
