About The Artwork

“Aquello que estaba destinado a permanecer oculto ha salido a la luz” Sigmund Freud “Nunca antes de él la representación de una idea ha sustituido al hombre con tanta fuerza y tanta eficacia” Rafael Argullol “El fin del mundo como obra de arte”. “(…) si los antiguos idealizaron la belleza, el neoclasicismo idealizó a los griegos”. Umberto Ecco “Historia de la fealdad” La enciclopedia de D'aLembert & Diderot y el nuevo historicismo de Winckelmann trajeron el mundo dos ideas terribles: Que al ordenar el tiempo ordenamos el mundo y que tan solo los imperios generan cultura. Estas ideas marcaron profundamente el pensamiento del siglo XVIII-XIX, además de violentamente la historia y la política del siglo XX. Hoy nos gusta pensar que el arte (fundamentalmente la imagen) al servicio del poder, la ingeniería social para generar cuerpos, formas de pensar e identidades estandarizadas son cosas del pasado. Pero bastan cinco minutos de la televisión para descubrir que este cadáver estético del pasado sigue muy presente. The encyclopedia of D'aLembert & Diderot and the new historicism of Winckelmann brought the world two terrible ideas: That by ordering time we order the world and that only empires generate culture. These ideas profoundly marked the thought of the 18th-19th century, as well as violently the history and politics of the 20th century. Today we like to think that art (fundamentally the image) at the service of power, social engineering to generate bodies, ways of thinking and standardized identities are things of the past. But five minutes of television are enough to discover that this aesthetic corpse of the past is still very present.

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.
