ARTSPER

BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Barcelona where I studied painting and illustration at the Massana and Llotja schools respectively.
Years later, I traveled to Basel with the commission to carry out the murals and trompe l’oeil for the entire interior of the Drachen hotel.
After four months in the Swiss city, I settled in Paris where I lived for three and a half years. There I made contact with the world of Parisian art and further developed my personal work. I returned to Barcelona where I stayed for eight years until in 2012 I traveled and settled in Berlin where I currently live and where in 2016 I finished and presented the film “Auf dem Weg”.
In 2019, the French government commissioned me to carry out the frescoes for the church “L’Annunciata” by Pianottoli in Corsica, France, where I painted its 31 m2. During my artistic career I have exhibited in different cities around the world, as well as made artistic works of various kinds. I am currently producing the documentary about the pictorial process along with the personal experience involved in making mural paintings in a church in the 21st century.

STATEMENT

My work explores the notion of the human being. Through my portraits and figures, I deal with this subject, working from realism to suggestive decompositions and representations.

I represent all genders, together or separately, trying to reach the maximum possible knowledge of the psyche and body of the other and of my own being.

The subject, in my work, is shown with a look from the deep, essential and intimate of itself towards a wide perspective facing the universe.

My pictorial language finds its space in a place that goes from the avant-garde of the 20th century to the most prehistoric art.
