About The Artwork

"If you take Greece apart, In the end you will be left with an olive tree, a vineyard and a boat… which means that with these items you can rebuild Greece…" Odysseas Elytis, Nobel Prize for Literature 1979. The theme of the artwork is the hope of the resurgence of knowledge and justice in our time, of a new Renaissance, the flowering of a new humanism. Surrounded by darkness, only the green hope and the hard gray ground, the reality, can be the basis for fight so much blindness. The olive tree was a totemic tree in Ancient Greece and its mythical origin was due to Athena, goddess of justice and wisdom. The goddess planted the olive tree in the Acropolis to stop the wild sea and Poseidon. And as the seed of knowledge it led Athens to its golden age.

I am an artist and designer. I grew up in Alcobendas and settled in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, in 2003, where I currently reside. From a very young age I developed an enormous interest in history, art history and analog photography, which led me to study Fine Arts, focusing on the world of restoration, thinking about the masters of the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish Baroque. Although finally the absence of creativity in this field of work and study led me to another path. I worked for a time as a copyist at the Prado Museum to study how to paint my favorite classics, and then I devoted myself exclusively to everything that caught my attention both in terms of subjects and techniques (engraving, woodcut, inks on greasy paper, mural painting, egg tempera, polymeric putties with marble dust, etc.) I work as an illustrator in various specialized magazines, as a web designer, creating storyboards for film and television. I went through several multidisciplinary artistic formations, the last one being "Make Make Creative Process". During the study with this artistic training, focused on the synaesthetic process and creativity, I find a line to develop (Prometheu error: conjunction of body, movement, music and space) in which I am currently immersed.
