Alicante, Spain
1976
statement
In his work, we can find a series of approaches to the creative process, such as spontaneity, honesty, and simplicity, or the principle of minimalism, eliminating the superfluous in a reductionist process using direct and forceful methods. All of this is combined with a tendency toward saturation that generates a kind of minimal-baroque style.
Statement His pictorial work is recognized for its use of black, white, and drawing. Drawing as painting and painting as drawing are used to blur, saturate, and dematerialize the painting itself through energetic and spontaneous strokes, without prejudice and completely free.
He combines all this pictorial work with specific installation projects. For the last 15 years, he has investigated the incommunicability of the contemporary individual in the series "Acts of Communication," using ceramics, video, sculpture, photography, and performance to create pieces where these premises are always present, accumulated as obsessions that imbue the works with a personal identity. Obsessions that he rambles about, goes around and accumulates over the years, such as violence, tragedy, good and evil, jokes, absence, saturation, the anti-visual, the impossibility of communication or the miseries of the human being to describe the contemporary moment.
