OFFSPRING Print

Born in the old Barrio del Carmen in the city of Valencia (Spain) in 1958. Late creative and self-taught. I grew up living in a stage where creative movements and trends converged with a marked critical, social and political sense: Equipo Crónica (Rafael Solbes and Manuel Valdés), Equipo Realidad (Cardells and Ballester), Juan Genovés, Artur Heras, Boix, Armengol, Julio Bosque, and many others. There were several generations between the years 70, 80 and 90 that marked me decisively, I learned ideas, techniques, concepts, the critical sense and to understand beyond the formalisms getting into other creative fields that would give an important turn to my training process. I believe that each one of our referents is in our work, we have sucked them off, we learned from them, but in my case I owe a lot to all those teachers who are in my essence and to whom I read, see and always keep in mind, thanks to José de Ribera, Juan de Juanes, El Bosco, El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Piccasso, Malevich, Kandinsky, Magritte, Hopper, and many others ... thanks to all of them for making me addicted to the creativity.
