"Serpentina Azul" Outdoor Sculpture

My story :

Coming from Navarrese parents, due to a lack of freedom in Spain, they moved to Paris. I was later born in Belgium, since my childhood and adolescence, I have been interested in the plastic arts, under the influence of my mother, a painter, it is then that I studied Fine Arts in Saint-Gilles (Brussels). The years take place under a roof impregnated with culture, reading and art, which are permanently married and accompany us in our lives.

Belgium, "this flat country of mine, with a sky so low that a duck got lost...". (Jacques Brel), ... I too am lost..." (Jacques Brel). My desire, to go back to my origins, the sun, the Mediterranean culture, the village of my holidays at my grandfather and grandmother's house. Things are no longer going well economically for us, my father's company (architect) is going bankrupt, perhaps a call for a change...

Finally, at the age of 18, I returned to Navarra, first alone and then accompanied by my mother and father, from then on we started a new path together, without income, without knowledge of the territory, customs and market, a new route, we embarked on a beautiful and long adventure dedicated to natural stone, to be able to access and execute projects all over Spain, being able to work with architects such as Bofill, Calatrava, Jean Nouvel, David Chiperfield, having the opportunity to apply natural stone in the world of architecture and urban design. ..

This is where my intimate and close relationship with natural stone and the quarries, both national and foreign, begins, imbuing me with these first inspirations in the exciting world of stone and the petrographic formation of the territories.

Travels in Spain, in the depths of the country, its traditions, its regions and territories, sometimes mountainous, sometimes desert. Also, exciting trips abroad, as dangerous and adventurous as interesting, endless and risky journeys in search of unknown, hidden and at the same time exotic stones, lost quarries, lost places and people, lost faces and looks, all this forms me, and creates economic comfort, but also personal growth, in which, as the years go by, I navigate through adventures and experiences.

In the meantime, my physical practice of art, on the other hand, slows down during all these years, but not forgotten.
