¿Cómo defines lo que haces/tu arte?
How would you define what you do/ your art?
Please do not ask such a question. I just do my works :)
¿Qué parte del proceso de tu obra te parece más desafiante e interesante?
Which part of the process of an art piece do you think is more challenging or interesting?
The most interesting part is making the idea and the scketch and the most challenging is to finish it.

¿Qué es para ti el arte?
What is art for you?
It is the only way to live for me

Se te ha considerado como un fotógrafo, dinos que crees de esta catalogación y que te consideras tu.
You have been considered a photographer. What’s your opinion on this catalogation and what/how do you consider yourself?
It is wrong category. I use photography only as a base for my work. It is only the media. Also I do paintings and sculptures now. So I call myself an artist

¿Por qué predomina el blanco en la mayoría de tus obras?
White is a predominant element in most of your art pieces. Why? Which role does it play?
Every piece I do is both my Idea and my aesthetics vision. So white is my adorable color and the symbol of purity for me. I really use it a lot.

¿En qué te inspiras/basas cuando modificas a tus personajes? ¿Cómo decides lo que les vas a aplicar a cada uno de ellos?
In which principles do you rely when transforming your characters? Which criteria do you use to deciede what to apply to each of them?
Usually it is defined by the idea of the whole series while there are very big part couldnt be descibed with the words. I think if could then I would be a writer.

¿Qué nos dicen tus obras? ¿Que crees que deberían transmitir al espectador? ¿Qué te dicen a ti?
What do your art pieces suggest? What do you think they should transmit the audience? What do they suggest/transmit you?
It is not always a messege it’s more about the feeling I want to show. Even when I have a messege I do not tell it. Actually I’m against text which explains the works. The audience shoul understand everything without any clues.

Extraes tus obras de fotografías reales y luego las transformas en personajes extraños. ¿De esta manera los estás transportando a tu propio mundo? Háblanos un poco de este mundo.
You take your characters from real photografies and then transform them into weird pieces. Is that the way you bring them to your own world? Tell us something about this world.
All of my works are strongly connected with my own relations with photography. I hated beeing photographed when was a child and still have this same feeling. I never liked the resault and I was afraid of photographer. Probably that’s the reason I hided myself on the other side of the camera. I still reconstact this situation from my childhood but use other people for it.

¿En qué estás trabajando actualmente?
What are you currently working on?
I’m working on a new project about our childhood frightnes. It is called “Mushroom kingdom”. It’s not a regular project of my as it will have not only photography, but also paintings ans sculptures
