Making this copy "Portrait of a Man", attributed to Velazquez, was a game and a real challenge for me. My goal was to achieve a "crakelado" (cracks in all pictorial layers) of antiquity as natural as possible. To carry it out I made a "gesso" with a lot of calcium carbonate and a small amount of rabbit glue (natural binder). The result was a brittle and cracked gesso that I consolidated. Then I just had to paint the artwork. The result satisfied me so much that I gilded and plated the frame with the same antique technique of the baroque.

Spain
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.
