Biography

Born from 2 emigrants trying to escape the misery of the Franco era in Spain, I always questioned my own relationship to the world and the meaning of our existence. After a university degree in Letters and another in Pedagogy, I felt a certain frustration linked with the academic world and its limitations. Then I choose to devote myself to the art. For ten years, I have been trying to develop a consistent art practice. I mainly produce photographs, while I also use drawing, video, performance and installations. I consider that photography is fictional while it presents itself as truthful. My images flow between total staging, spontaneous shots and archives of all kind. As such, they propose an heterogenous and ambiguous narration with the main purpose to question the western society, the art world and the interactions between the art media. They exist as either aesthetically independent photographs (documentaire placebo) or in series. My work is essentially human, committed and demanding. It is feed as much on literature, philosophy, cinema, politics as on stories of everyday life.
