About The Artwork

The theme of the artwork is the importance of getting up over and over again whatever it takes (I took it to the extreme of a Maruyasana) and the relentless pursuit of beauty. Hephaestus, the protector god of crafts and the forge, was rejected by his mother, Hera, who threw the boy from the top of Olympus as deformed. The expulsion of Hephaestus from Olympus did not last long. The gods, discovering his skill as a craftsman and blacksmith, began to commission him, so that the prestige of the young god began to increase rapidly, to the point of being able to claim the hand of Aphrodite from Zeus.

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.
