I was studying Psychology at the Ramon Llull University in Barcelona, when I came across this quote from Friedrich Nietzsche:
"We have art in order not to die of the truth".
This phrase, somehow and for reasons that are irrelevant here, threw me into the art world full of determination. I enrolled in the LLOTJA High School of Art and Design (Barcelona), and ended up majoring in art fire enamel on metal.
So, I'm passionate about art, philosophy and psychology.
I'm currently studying the degree in Psychology at the UOC University.
ARTIST PROCESS + STATEMENT
I like the feeling I get from creating something; the world stops, it freezes.
I like being with my imagination in her own Wonderland, although occasionally I lose sleep or forget to eat.
I love when I manage complete immersion in my creations, such that my notion of identity disappears. And suddenly, I find myself creating work without ego, practically unconsciously, totally immersed, flowing like watercolors, dancing with water or walking in a park in autumn, side by side with my cat Margot.
My work is a constant exploration of inner reality and the collective unconscious in an attempt to make it visible, looking for a certain integrity, with vertigo and tranquility inherent in the depths of the human soul.
