Rationale

"ICONS" The "icons" series is a branching off from previous collections such as "street wandering," "travel notebooks," and "Citizens," in which urban art, pop art, fashion, music, social media, and events of all kinds coexist on the canvas. Thus, in these works, I use "symbols" that have somehow influenced our way of acting during a period of time, or have marked significant moments in my life as an artist/citizen. Therefore, we can find works featuring Uma Thurman, Travolta, Marilyn, Ali, Amy Winehouse, The Beatles, etc. In this series, I refer to the culture of images and social media, the culture or generation of the selfie, posing for mobile phones and social media, this social paranoia that has transformed the citizen and the way we relate to each other. One of the characteristics of this collection is that the works are always conceived to function in pairs, meaning there are two works about Marilyn, the pair from the Pulp Fiction dance scene. The final result, we could say, is like owning a piece of wall, a piece of street at home, with the exception that the process is purely classical in terms of the materials used and the way they are worked. As an artist, I never stop seeing authentic works of art on the walls of cities, works born from accident, from daily wear and tear, and from that hustle and bustle that wears things down, and I feel the need to tear them off the walls and take them home. From here, I plan to create a series of paintings in which all these street works are the basis from which I start working.
