Artist Works
| Biography: | When I was little I lived in the Santa Coloma ghetto and with my junkie uncle we painted pictures and then we went to bars together to sell them. Later my family went to live in a town. There they took me to the nursery and in an art contest in the class I had to compete with a classmate who also wanted to be a cartoonist, in the end I won and he became a photographer, although in the contest for a square for the town we competed equally. again for the design of the square and the fountain and then he won. But when we were little, that contest made me the quintessential cartoonist in the class. The first thing we did in the town was that the parents of a friend of my little brother encouraged us to enroll in the Manolo Hugue art workshop school, a famous avant-garde sculptor born in the town and once he died his house was a tourist museum . My brother's friend's sister was the most beautiful girl in the world and she went to my class with which I was deeply in love and of course my brother was also going to enroll in the art workshop because he thought they did experiments in a laboratory there with provetas, the parents of our friends were friends of my parents so they guided us in our first steps through the town so that we could take advantage of what it offers. My brother was disappointed after a short time and left it when he saw that they did not do scientific experiments but he gave it to him to make some mud barrels. I stayed in the workshop until finishing high school with the girl I loved and her brother, but there I thought more about art than about her. There we did step by step drawing, painting and sculpture exercises. After the bullying of one of my most characterful teachers, Dolors, thrown at the whole class, today I dare anything. Since my parents also painted, all the paintings in my house were by my father, and it was my mother's dream to be a painter when she was young. At school I was popular and I did not miss the opportunity to make art between comics and murals and various drawings, and get good grades, my family had also made me a vocation, during the holidays as a teenager my cousin had graffiti artist friends, they suggested that I do a graffiti sketch that could take advantage of my art and be good at it, in the caravan at the campsite I made a graffiti mural sketch and when I finished it they saw it and they liked it, I was an official graffiti artist ever since. In a train car I dreamed of those graffiti artists who went to industrial zones and climbed on the antennas to paint, then I looked through the window and was astonished when I realized that all the walls we crossed were full of signatures spray-painted, one after another in droves, at my discovery my dream of being a graffiti artist was a reality. When I graduated I enrolled in a school of artistic arts and crafts where I did 2 common courses where I learned new notions of art this time more seriously than in the art workshop in my town. Well, in practice I have graffitied enough walls, painted a few pictures and sculptures for clients, for the town hall of my town, with my crew, exhibitions, exhibitions, chill out's, festivals, fanzines, posters, business blinds, helmets, motorcycles, clothes , banners, tattoos, rave deko etc. My technique is the spray, the airbrush, combined with an acrylic and oil paint brush. I seek to make a masterpiece every time, once I achieve it and I was amazed seeing the only painting that I have finished in my life. |
