I was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1956. At the age of 10 years I was used to painting on big-sized primed cardboards that my mother prepared for me. I received paint lessons from Antoine Paget, a French watercolorist settled as a retiree in a Spanish small village called Tordera where my mother owned a house. At the age of 16 my art tutor passed away, and I gave up painting, thinking that I wouldn’t use a brush anymore in my life. But some twenty years later I found myself visiting art galleries and talking about art with painters during my visits to the numerous Barcelona art galleries. A friend of mine, Jorge Ruíz, a painter from Málaga, asked me, why don’t you start painting again? I bought some gouache paints and some brushes and started to sketch and work on a few still life paintings and landscapes, in the Ramón Rogent manner. My Malaga friend saw the paintings and added: “not bad chum, but forget these soap water paints and use oil paint instead, you’ll get better results”. And I did so. The figurative scheme was OK at the moment, but I was caressing the idea of other new trends that would better represent what I had in mind. And I then began the series Lithos, which represented an approach to the idea of staging sculptures painted on canvas, as a way of conveying a massive representation of thought, space and scene construction. There is a sort of Giorgio de Chirico’s atmosphere in some of them; mi intention was to represent Nature as solid form that makes us a fragile representation of human life. But it was in the Damau art gallery of Barcelona where I came across what I was looking for. Joaquin Torres Garcia’s Constructive Universalism opened the door to a new dimension, which would become the means to express the numerous ideas that came in a flood to my mind. From that moment on, the series “Mis elementos” (My elements) was starting to emerge, as it had been hidden somewhere within my subconscious. This series was followed by other ones, and each one represented a step forward, an improvement, or a solemn commitment to upgrade my work.
