ABOUT THE PRINT
- Hand-signed and numbered
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Madrid, the artist initially studied Economics and Fine Arts but chose not to complete the latter, instead broadening their training through courses in crafts such as tapestry, enamel, and leather. They began as a figurative painter until a visit to the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español transformed their artistic vision toward abstraction. In 1992, a traumatic experience witnessing a public execution in Jeddah led to a decade-long pause in painting. Returning in 2001, they embraced abstraction dominated by red tones. Between 2008 and 2010, they revisited figuration with the series Elegy for Silence, addressing gender violence. Later, influenced by Eastern art, they adopted and reinterpreted the Japanese technique Suminagashi. Their current work fuses this method with elements inspired by Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich, exhibiting internationally since 1982.
