Born Madrid, 1972.I am a painter, I make 3 dimensional paintings of cities. I am a founding member of the artist collective Barnstormers. (NYC) I grew up with 1970s cartoons, and children's books. Somehow buildings had an impact on me early on. I recently discovered a sketch book of when I was 5, and it was all houses with windows as eyes, and doors as mouths. I got heavy into painting in the late 80s, and moved to NYC in 91 to study at Cooper Union. Major influences are Van Gogh, Soutine, Dubuffet, Philip Guston, Barcelo, Picasso, Auerbach, and many more. I work from a close relationship with my materials, which I have developed along the way, and an intense response to city life. Its chaos, movemente, graffiti, and over all saturation of the senses.
