STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am interested in creating new challenging narratives, which in many occasions escape me and are in the eye of the beholder, thus aiming to create endless interpretations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After many years of making collages there are some obvious intertwined themes that could be summarized as looking at the human condition through a surrealist and oneiric filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a collage maker living in London since 2001, originally from Spain. I have been making collages since late 90s, rather a necessity more than a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just started to make my collages public (website, Instagram, exhibitions) since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year I participated in three group exhibitions in Warsaw (Poland), London (UK) and Amsterdam (Holland). My work has been published in several publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By nature and nurture a hoarder, I use mainly old and new magazines and books, also sometimes found objects. My collages are all analog\/hand made; never computer, photocopies or scans as I like the limitation provided by just working with found materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
