Artist Statement .

“I am a visual artist, originally from Seville and based in London.
I am mainly interested in creating artworks that call for the connection with the viewers. Also, I consider my cultural identity a significant inspiration for my work, as well as my gay identity and everyday observations around London.
For his variety of cultures and artistic movements, Seville is a rich source in gothic and Arab architecture based in geometric forms and baroque paintings and sculptures, which are a rich source of inspiration for me.”

Practice.

My practice is about perception, form and colour: visual and conceptual. I explore through my paintings how mindfulness as a natural quality touches our sense in our collective and popular territory.
The human figure, mostly of sexy men, abstracts creations and vivid colours are present in my artworks; it allows me to mix seemingly abstract and figurative compositions with sculptural associations.
