23, Sevilla, self-taught but in art school.
How long have u been living there?
Four years. I was born in Miami and came to Andalucia when I was little.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I dont have a "Muse" but my main influences are in flims, music and paintings.
What's your favourite color?
I don't have a favorite color, i love the atmospheres in the combinations of different colors.
When are you the most productive?
I have an obsession with production, I'm also a musician, mainly the saxophone, I combine these two activities so I don't get saturated. But I can't spend 2 or 3 days with out doing anything?productive.
Where is your favourite vacation-spot?
It's precisely change, I like traveling from one spot to another I cant just stay in one place for too long, besides I'm never on vacation and always on vacation. But some of my favorites are perhaps Berlin, San Francisco, and darker places like New Orleans, Cuba or Miami.
What kind of music do you like?
I listen to all types of music but perhaps the music i prefer to produce is closer to King Crimson, Nina Simone, Hiromi or John Coltrane.
Any exhibitions planned this year?
Until April at the Nice/Nice Exhibition Space, i've been comissioned to paint a mural and do a workshop for the University of Fine Arts in Malaga in March. In May I will be playing in the Meknes Music Festival in Morroco with "La Mula", painting a canvas in Milan, and exposing in a collective in Berlin in at the Strychnin gallery called "Conquistadores".
What is your favourite material to work on?
Each surface and context makes a different work, i don't like one more than the other, basically in my studio I paint on cloth, wood or paper. Painting murals is different. The spectator doesn't enter a gallery or a studio to find art, but finds it in his everyday.
What are your tools? (special pens, colors etc.)
Mainly oil, acrylic, resin based enamel, pens, spray paint some times with the needle cap, charcoal. I'm really happy with some of the last works I've been doing with needles that give me a similar line to a pen but thicker and dirtier.
