Murcia, 1974
“Storytelling is an essential activity for human beings. I do it through drawings and paintings. I try to tell stories that communicate with those who observe them and invite them to be transported to different spaces, with no major sonority in their form and aesthetics. Over the years I have developed my own way of expressing ideas through a type of personal figuration where I have been enriched by various influences. A world of singular characters that in spite of their schematic nature give off tenderness and kindness. I consider my style to be simple, defined, fresh and harmonious as a whole. I admit to being influenced by comics, by illustration (Saul Steimber, Tomi Ungerer, Isidro Ferrer, Fernando Khran, Quino, El Roto, Mordillo), by the work of Dubuffet, Fraile, Philip Guston; and also by some street artists like Basquiat or Keith Haring, a very free art, just like when children create”.
