T O Z
Salvador, 1976
His work - made up mainly of painting - emerged from different moments that portray his life, developing a story inspired in his routine. He transits between materials like oil paint and spray, both in the streets and inside galleries, taking the creation of autobiographical characters as his main theme.
His abstract phase is marked by gestures, in which he covers his emblematic characters with spackling paste and through traces reveals colourful layers, making an allusion to the ephemerality of graffiti and also the world’s negative phase we are living. He covers the characters thinking about what will be revealed in many years, creating a species of future archeology.
