About The Artwork

In this touching painting, I depicted two little pigs locked between bars inside a refrigerator. I wanted to convey a profound message that invites each person to reflect on their own role in animal exploitation, and whether we are still complicit in the mistreatment and murder of these innocent beings. Every time we contemplate that 'food' on our plate, we must remember that it is the lifeless body of someone who longed to live and enjoy. I wanted to awaken emotions and awareness through this work, remembering that behind every steak, every slice of ham or every piece of bacon, there is a life lost and suffering ignored. My wish is that this image awakens an inner change in each person who observes it. That we look at ourselves and ask ourselves what we can do to be part of the solution. We can choose a more compassionate and respectful way of life, a conscious eating that does not contribute to the cycle of cruelty to animals. When you approach your fridge, I invite you to stop for a moment and ask yourself who you are holding in it. Choose empathy, respect and love for all living things. Together, we can create a world where animals are treated with dignity and compassion.

I feel that every day there is a growing disconnect between human beings and their own origins and environment. We are not separate from other beings and elements; we are part of a whole. My intention is to create clear messages that can be easily interpreted by viewers, to reach many people and raise greater social awareness about the importance of caring for and respecting other animals. I seek to expose how we harm animals both directly and indirectly (industries that profit at the expense of their suffering, pollution, and the extinction of wild species). Most of my works are paintings, although sometimes I feel the need to express myself through sculpture or other mediums. My language is figurative, capturing the world as I see it in my works. I paint animals, and the human being is indirectly represented through their footprint. For me, visual language is a natural form of expression. This, combined with my need to create with my own hands, has led me to practice visual arts since I was young. My work is focused on exploring the boundaries between painting and sculpture, creating pieces that merge both disciplines. They are paintings on three-dimensional supports, where space gives meaning to the works. They are no longer a two-dimensional window through which the viewer peers, but an object to explore that relates to its environment. I grew up in Valdemoro (Madrid), and I graduated in Fine Arts in 2013. I worked as a graphic designer for a few years, but my interest in art and nature led me to specialize in scientific illustration (2018). In the same year, I moved with my partner to Gijón (Asturias), where we started a family, and later began teaching workshops on painting, drawing, and art entrepreneurship. Currently, I am exclusively dedicated to my art and represented by a gallery in Asturias: Bea Villamarín. Art is a powerful tool for social transformation, and that is how I work with it.
