The Artist
biography
Born in Barcelona (1964), I decided to break my urban routine and explore other experiences. This led me to live in Tenerife for a period of seven years, and between Malaga and Cadiz for almost twenty years, finally it is Malaga, no doubt brings me very good energy, so I find in the Axarquia of Malaga the perfect place to settle down.
Siempre me sentí atraído por todo aquello que el universo audiovisual en cualquiera de sus formas y representaciones nos ofrece. Sintiendo la necesidad de romper con mi posición de espectador inicio mi andadura como parte activa de el mundo de las artes, lo que me lleva a cursar fotografía creativa, participé en una producción operística e incluso probé a cantar en un coro lírico. Fue en un viaje a República Dominicana donde descubrí la técnica del anudado, maravillado por las fabulosas alfombras de tela y atraído por sus bellos colores y sobre todo por su textura, viendo en esta disciplina un infinito caudal de posibilidades.
Así que tomando como referente las alfombras de tela denominadas “pellizas” que se elaboran en la comarca de Piedra Blanca de República Dominicana donde se confeccionan, decido indagar en esta técnica. El resultado son estas piezas únicas, cada una de ellas se componen de muchisimos metros de tela, miles de nudos y quizás lo mas importante, incontables horas de trabajo.

- raffia canvas
- patience as a virtue
As I had mentioned in my presentation, this discipline is referenced by Dominican carpets, where they are made on a raffia canvas, crossing the canvas with the strip of fabric helped by a kind of wooden needle. I choose to do it with a rug hook. As a technique it has no complications in itself, although it is very laborious. Over time and following the whims of my imagination I proceed to play with the volumes, which leads me to different ways to achieve it, using fillings, additions, overlapping pieces and everything that allows me to make the piece as it is designed in my mind. The material I use is very varied, I have worked with polyester lining, acetate, satin, lame, organza, mesh and tulle. There are many meters of fabric used, and countless hours invested for the sheer pleasure of materializing what was once a project idea.
Each piece is made up of thousands of knots, the size and complexity of the piece will determine the time used, I like to work in large format, so to get an idea, the average is approximately one month to three months.
