Good morning family! After a lot of work, I can pr Good morning family! After a lot of work, I can present you today a new print for sale of a collage, I don't have them in the studio yet, but I opened the reception of orders. I composed it a few years ago and a little later I put it on a wall, as if it were a wildstyle piece, but without any lyrics. It is something new, an experiment, an exercise in style that goes a few steps further and contains a lively poetic charge, something that the classic wildstyle medium did not allow me to express but that I had already been planning it as an idea many times without finding a solution, until one day I came up with it. The theme clearly alludes to the wars and abuses of power, today sadly so current and so repulsive to us as in Palestine, Colombia or Chile. The abuse of power is very old and we no longer accept it, although it is still in force. But today there are many of us who rise up and rebel against these injustices, the world has risen up and has said enough to so much barbarism, we want to live with dignity as a conscious planetary people and overcoming these violent and barbaric stages that we have dragged since the beginning of civilization, although the old world we knew is dying, ending, there is a planetary change underway. I believe that I am doing my job in this sense with the only voice I have in this world, and that is my job, my art, with which I can help to enlighten consciences and strengthen ideas. That is my power. __________________________________ LINK IN BIO* Title: Stop Wars! Size: 70 cm X 50 cm Technique: Graphic work / Collage / Adobe Illustrator CC.

Today I share a photo with a t-shirt that the grea Today I share a photo with a t-shirt that the great Mr. Kern gave me some time ago but that I could not wear in the whole 2020, I had it saved for a good occasion, who knows, but the truth is that I saw it and I wore it just like that, one day, which is precisely the day that should be celebrated the most, because the day after we do not know where we will be. @mister.kern ✨ So I took a picture when it seemed to me that it was the least opportune moment, but the best time to celebrate. Something like the "happy unbirthday" of Alice's mad hatter, remember? Any day was his birthday: "In the movie Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice meets the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse, and they have an unbirthday party. Alice at first doesn't realize what an unbirthday is. When the Mad Hatter explains it to her, she realizes that this day is also her own unbirthday and receives a cake from the Hatter. This scene combines the idea of the unbirthday presented in Through the Looking Glass along with the tea party described in Alice in Wonderland." Well I share a current photo I say, because many of you have told me that; how are you?, we don't see your face, share a photo so we can see you are ok and that kind of stuff..... Hahaha... Or we don't remember you anymore, go back and remind us how you are...! Things of the 2020 and remoteness. Well, I'm fine, thanks to know that generous god forgotten in time, who gives me his protection, despite so many attacks and ups and downs of life and this current troubled world. So although I am quite shy and refused to go out in photos, what is promised is debt, when I showed him the photo with the piece of Kern's t-shirt of "Robospierre", he told me in his peculiar sarcastic style that now I could go to flirt to the promenade of Valencia, I could not laugh more. _____________✨😉✨_____________
Totem 30 cm X 16 cm X 5 cm, aprox. Objet trouvé Totem 30 cm X 16 cm X 5 cm, aprox. Objet trouvé (Ready-made) / Old brick 2021 _______________________________________ A few years ago I found at home a very old brick, with a different shape from those I had never seen before, in perfect condition. My studio had been an old stable, with a manger where they fed the animals, I guess there were horses and donkeys, also chickens or ducks, when we got to the house everything was the same as in the early twentieth century and was an amazing sight, it was full of thousands of objects, all piled on top of each other as in the tomb of Tutankhamun; wooden shovels, wicker baskets, old chairs... We had to dismantle it to be able to work on it, part of the stable is still there. During the cleaning I found this baked brick with an extraordinary ancient shape that captivated me from the first moment, with its multiple look; I immediately became attached to it and discovered in it, the shape of a totem. I quote from Wikipedia the scientific description of the object that I looked for to study the concept well; "A totem is a natural object or animal that in the mythologies of some cultures or societies is taken as an iconic symbol of the tribe or individual, it can include a variety of attributes and meanings for the linked group. The word totem comes from the Ojibwa language, spoken by the native Indians of North America. Among some indigenous tribes and native nations of North America the qualities of animals reflect or reflected supernatural forces and spiritual attributes. Also in some cultures it represented the three levels of the human being: the lower self (or unconscious), the middle self (the mind) and the higher self, the latter represented with a winged figure or a bird, symbol of expansion." _______________😃________________
Landscape with figures, 4 100 cm X 100 cm Acrylic Landscape with figures, 4 100 cm X 100 cm Acrylic and spray on canvas 2019 _______________________ Good morning fam*, I don't know if it happens to you but these days it's hard for me to fall asleep early, so much that I'm extending my bedtime, doing many things at the same time, finishing this, consulting that, sending this... This night for example, I got into bed very late, but I couldn't sleep either and I re-watched two chapters of a series dedicated to ancient Egypt entitled; Ancient Egyptians (2003), of an amazing and fascinating realism, based on real stories rescued from papyri and I have immersed myself for two hours in a time capsule, with my eyes wider open than an owl, so here I am writing this post. Today I share with you a canvas of 2019, that observing it carefully, and with the strange perception that gives not having slept, gave me the feeling that no time had passed or that nothing had happened, as if the whole year 2020 had been a bad dream, but no, everything has changed and a lot, as in those movies that when waking up, the protagonist believes that everything has been a nightmare. This painting reminds me a little of this nightmarish feeling, of going to nowhere, not knowing if you are running away or returning victorious, of going very fast without knowing why you are running, without having a support where you can touch 'with your feet on the ground'. And it is that what yesterday seemed like solid ground, today it vanishes like smoke without knowing if tomorrow it will solidify, but strangely it continues to sustain us. It reminds me of those exaggeratedly colored photographs, as if trying to return its natural color, clumsily spoiling it. A vain attempt to return to some previous state, to cling to some ledge where we can regain that lost time and the world we knew, but no. And there we are, me sleepless, the painting looking back at me defiantly and the world running without knowing what will happen tomorrow.
The imperial boot 15 cm X 6 cm aprox. Objet trou The imperial boot 15 cm X 6 cm aprox. Objet trouvé (Ready-made) / Burnt plastic 2021 _______________________________________ Recently I stumbled upon this burnt and twisted plastic boot which, once again, made another of those delightful moments of the fortuitous encounter, or random in appearance, typical of the casual sculptures that I have shown you lately. The poetic objects that I present to you, without my intervention or having modeled anything (except on very rare occasions when I have had to intervene), it is the gaze on the object that fixes the idea, with clusters of suggestions, although silently and secretly a meaning is being imposed, because it is no longer a burnt plastic, now it is an imperial boot, of that there is no doubt. It is the reverse of the paintings Magritte painted with the apple and the pipe. Be that as it may, it is a boot and of princely or imperial class, in the style of fairy tales and the fact is that it is made of burnt plastic as I announced before and the reference to oil is more than evident. I really like these objects that are nothing and suddenly have the ability to contain a huge and powerful amount of poetic concepts, with a tremendous plutonian power and that would seem out of this material world, it would be more appropriate to the world of ideas. Perhaps these objects are created by the mind, just as we have always painted in this way; with our hands, with our feet, with our mouth... but also with our gaze and our thoughts. ________________👢_________________
