The work presents a hill covered with round, almost schematic bushes, some of them slightly levitating, reinforcing the sense of artificiality and construction. At the top, a billboard announces a cloud. The billboard is practically the same color as the sky, and the cloud it promotes is also repeated behind it, as if the image were duplicating itself. This cloud is followed by two or three smaller ones, which together resemble a comic book speech bubble. This detail introduces a tone of humor and lightness to the piece. The painting works with simple and friendly, almost flat colors, reinforcing its direct and accessible character. The work speaks of the idea of advertising something intangible, of turning even a cloud—something fleeting and natural—into an object of promotion. The landscape once again functions as a stage, and the billboard as a tool to point out that today we consume not only products but also ideas and images.

After studying Fine Arts and Interior Design at Antonio de Nebrija University, where he graduated in 2018, he continued his education with a Master's in Research in Art and Creation (2024), consolidating a career that combines artistic practice and theoretical reflection. Since the beginning of his career, he has sought experiences that broaden his perspective, participating in international projects such as ¿Cómo enseñar y hacer fotografía? (How to teach and make photography?) in Piura, Peru (2020) and a documentary photography program in rural areas with Erasmus+ in Dilijan, Armenia (2019). These experiences marked a line of work attentive to social issues and modes of representation in diverse contexts. His work has been presented in various solo and group exhibitions in Spain, and has received recognition from institutions and competitions. In 2024, he exhibited his work at Galería My Name’s Lolita (Madrid), and in previous years participated in shows such as the Pozuelo de Alarcón Painting Competition (where he won third prize in 2023), the Moncloa Cultural Center (Madrid, 2022), and the LXXVII Centelles Painting Competition (Barcelona, 2019). In Logroño, he was awarded third prize in the XXXIV Young Art Showcase La Rioja (2018), and in Segovia, he was part of a group exhibition and an artistic residency at AP Gallery (2017). His artistic practice is characterized by an interest in the intersection of image, memory, and territory, exploring through painting and photography ways of inhabiting, narrating, and reinterpreting contemporary experience. With a career that spans from international projects to national competition awards, he continues to develop work that dialogues between aesthetic research and the cultural transformations of our time.
