‘The substance of things, it has been said since the beginning of time, is love. What crystallizes out of this substance is a fabulous, and also a terrible, dreadful mystery.’  Ariana Reines.

When I was a child I was obsessed with the images of the cinema posters like Rambo, Alien, Robocop etc...  I started drawing my own versions of the movies at the back of the A0 format architectural plans papers of my dad. Copying from comic books anatomic details. After a while, I gained my degree in Seville's fine arts University. My first solo exhibition was in 1999. In 2008 I moved to London where I live and work.

Nowadays my practice is intrinsically linked to an exploration of the idea of time and identity. My aim is to show all contextual meanings of the instant itself that the photograph may have lost. It is impossible to retain the moment within all the spectrum of feelings and sensations. Painting is the best media I have to capture a resume of the moment itself, adding and carving deliberated memories to the environment and people. The person and the environments are the same things and also the substance of my works spinning around the attraction of time. I am interested in developing a dynamic, exciting and musical narrative between the artwork and the observer, giving the opportunity to this one to make its own memory/time out of the painting. Time moulds the appearance of everything and everyone. We rely on fragile memories and images to keep the moments intact. However, time moulds even memories and images; all depends on time. 

I work with photographs I randomly find on the internet interesting to recreate a story and sometimes by memory when I do not want the painting to have any recognizable link. I am inspired by writers like Phillip K. Dick, Kureishi and Cormac Mc Carthy. I use charcoal, pencils, spray paint, acrylic and mainly oil paint as resources to create my artworks.

The substance of things, it has been said since the beginning of time, is love. What crystallizes out of this substance is a fabulous, and also a terrible, dreadful mystery.’ Ariana Reines. When I was a child I was obsessed with the images on cinema posters like Rambo, Alien, Robocop etc... I started drawing my own versions of these on the back of my dad’s A0 format architectural plans, taking inspiration from anatomical details in comic books. Following my degree from Seville's fine arts University, my first solo exhibition was in 1999. In 2008 I moved to London where I now live and work. Nowadays my work is focussed on an exploration of the idea of time and identity. My aim is to show in my paintings all the contextual meanings of the instant itself. It is impossible to retain the moment within all the spectrum of feelings and sensations, but painting is the best medium I have to capture the essence of the moment itself, adding and carving deliberated memories of the environment and people. I am interested in developing a dynamic, exciting and musical narrative between the artwork and the observer, giving the opportunity to make one’s own memory/time out of the painting. Time moulds the appearance of everything and everyone. We rely on fragile memories and images to keep the moments intact. However, time moulds even memories; all depends on time and identity. I work with interesting photographs and other images from various sources, including chance finds on the internet, to recreate a story. This inspiration is often amalgamated with my own memories resulting in a seed from which a piece of art grows. I am inspired by writers like Phillip K. Dick, Hanif Kureishi and Cormac McCarthy. I use oil paint as well as charcoal, pencils, spray paint and acrylic as resources to create my artworks. MCM
