ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The idea is joint with Carles Redon, who inspired me in Catalan culture to develop a series of pop-style paintings, but with templates. Unlike Warhol's technique that made his paintings with silkscreen, our paintings are completely handmade. First we take the photos to project them on a cardboard, then we cut out each layer giving rise to the templates themselves. We paint the paintings with stencils with colored sprays, this way we can differentiate the techniques although they may seem the same. History The barretina or Catalan hat is a bag-shaped wool hat used in Catalonia, Spain. It is red or purple in color, and sometimes with a black stripe around the opening, which was originally associated with sailors and Jews. It has also been related to the red Phrygian cap used since 1789, after the French Revolution, by the Republicans, a symbolism that would soon spread throughout Europe and the new American states.

My name is Cesar, I was born in Badalona on March 6, 1975. When I was a child I remember drawing superheroes, then I was in the School E.G.B. until twelve. I began to invent my own characters called "Wikos", I have had drawings since 1989. Everything starts here. In early 90's "Las Almas" were born and I thought that I am a Visionary. Large expressionist paintings with acrylics in search of a style, over the years, I was interested in different aesthetic and stylistic fields, masking myself under various alter egos. I loved painting those great paintings, I still have and may possibly return to this art in the future. Progressively, my passion for installations takes over and I stop painting with stencils and sprays, as I previously did with brushes. I made performances with installations, photography and consequently video art. Recently, I am reborn with a type of hybridization giving body to my latest works guided by conceptual art.
