Artist statement

My work lives in the space where the body and the natural world are connected and stop being separate things. Floral forms and landscape become a language for interior states: desire, transformation, the feeling of being vast and vanishingly small at the same time. And the awareness that everything (the body, the sensations, the experience itself) is only passing through.

In my practice, I work with ink with dense, hand-drawn layers of shapes and lines. By incorporating the fluidity of water, shapes of clouds alongside predominant floral forms, the surfaces are completely filled; horror vacui appears as abundance in every corner. The composition, with plenty of abstract details, moves like sea surface, transforming all that density into a calmness only recognisable in a state of presence.

These paintings are spaces in which the viewer can get lost. Somewhere for the mind to wander freely and rest, a peaceful place where one can breathe amidst the chaos.

Based in Tarragona, Spain.

Beyond the Studio

My background sits at the intersection of creativity, design, systems, and product development.

I originally pursued art and digital design, later graduating as a graphic designer specialised in branding. What began as a focus on visual communication gradually evolved into a broader involvement in product development and production management.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across the complete journey of physical products — from concept creation and aesthetics to technical documentation, sampling, packaging, and ecommerce distribution. This hands-on experience led me to develop a strong interest in workflows, operational systems, and the relationship between creativity and execution.

Today, I work in the travel goods industry, where I help optimise processes while continuing to explore independent projects related to creativity, technology, AI, and digital tools.

Outside of work, I practice yoga and enjoy spending time outdoors whenever possible — whether cycling, running, roller skating, or simply walking by the beach.

Stories, the blog / Les històries del blog

‘Create to explore, explore to create’ it’s my motto. A cyclical process where creativity fuels curiosity and exploration brings new inspiration to the work; applicable in so many layers of life: the physical world, the mind, the self, existence itself.

I write about the experience: outdoors and places, movement, health, the tensions of living… But also about topics that come up in my day to day life and job: creativity, systems, tech, ai, marketing… I’m always looking for the intersection between art and experience, between making and meaning. And the practility of it all.

My texts are primarily in Catalan, my first language, and I include the central idea in English.

// Crear per explorar, explorar per crear : és el meu motto preferit. M’interessa explorar el món, moure’m amb la curiositat, buscar la inspiració i reflexionar sobre l’experiència. Tinc especial interès per les activitats a l’exterior, l’aire lliure i la natura, però també per l’experiència interna, el pensament, les idees, la humanitat. Sempre he pensat en les paraules independentment de les meves imatges i creacions; ara començo a pensar que en formen part tant com cada traç. Però també m’agrada compartir tot allò que aprenc i em qüestiono a partir de la meva feina i el dia a dia: creativitat, processos i sistemes, tecnologia i IA, etc. Per veure’n els resultats més pràcitcs, visita la meva pàgina de Links.
