The show must go on  2015

These are scenarios of show business and activities focused on entertainment, from a personal point of view.

For these works, new ways to approach the playful world of show business are explored. Both acts and daily life situations are expressed in irregular formats, playing with the form of the characters and what they are doing. Most of the series is realized in 3D. 

The first works of the series are related with circus images, because it was the first form of massive entertainment in history. However, The show must go on includes all forms of expressive entertainment.

 Hanging music   2006-2012 


The Hanging Music art works are called Painted Sculpture Installations or Interactive Assembles.

Music is the topic of the whole series, using real music instruments as part of each art piece. The exhibition is totally interactive. The instruments can be taken out from the sculptures to make music. Afterwards they can be brought back in position easily again.

The series searches for the interaction between the spectator and the art piece, in an attempt to make the viewer part of the piece and enjoy it in a different way.

Subworlds 1995-2006

 

A subworld is a world inside another. It's representing real situations in a ludic and oneiric way, showing characters interacting within surrealistic scenarios, seen mostly from an air perspective. 
The technique is acrylic on canvas. 

The series creates the idea that the spectator is watching a world from a secret point of view, while he could also be seeing it from the regular perspective at the same time.
