A hometown being part of the own anatomy.
The reminiscence of a lost place that only inhabits in the memory.
All proceeds are donated to AptArt projects.

So nice to see Architectural Digest magazine turning my ‘Lucid Dream’ installation into a scenario for their featured furniture in their latest issue.

Stoked about this show next week in Miami where I am collaborating with a few pieces.
Art donations to keep alive the AptArt project, always in the front line doing the good stuff for those who need it most.

“In an average lifetime, the human being spends around six years dreaming, but what is really happening during this time still remains a mystery, impossible to decipher.

Located between our consciousness and the dream state, lucid dream allows us to control and modify our actions or scenarios, aware that we are living in a dream whilst making everything possible within the limits of our imagination.

Where would your dreams go if you could have control over them? How far are our dreams from reality?

Welcome to the thin line that connects consciousness with dreams.”

With this text I opened my new installation in Dubai for MeetD3, an annual art & design event taking place in Dubai Design District.
Invited by Tashkeel Studio and inspired by lucid dreaming, I created this space with the idea of placing yourself far from reality for a minute, and inviting you to interact and be part of this trippy dream. More info in my instagram @zoonchez​ 

Many thanks to Tashkeel Studio, D3 and all of the visitors who passed by and showed some love. <3

‘Organic Interaction’
My installation for The Nest art festival 2016 in Bahrain.
10 days of intense hard work, using the recycled wood used from last year’s festival and inspired by the human communication, the way we find the way to interact with each other, through words or any other non verbal communication. I tried to show the human necessity to interact with other humans, breaking the barrier of language sometimes.

Many thanks to my team Almas and Shahjahan, Mohammed, Reham, Huvil and everyone at Al Riwaq Art Space.

Work in progress…

Welcome to Bahrain.
My first time here, a special tiny country at the beginning of the Gulf. Very interesting history behind this little piece of land: it used to be called Dilmun, one of the biggest trade centers of the Persian Gulf from 4000 BC to 800 BC, with lots of traffic from all over the World and an important source of copper and sweet water also. According to mythology, Dilmun was a sacred place where some described it as a garden paradise, and it even may have been an inspiration for the Garden of Eden story. Time goes by, and now Bahrain is basically a desert like all these countries over here, but they still have some beautiful forts and museums, and even some kind of magic vibe I would say, that takes you to what was going on in this country a few millenniums back.
I felt really good since the moment I landed here, people are really chilled and humble in general and food is great.
Ready to work on a very special project with Al Riwaq Art Space for The Nest Art Festival.

Happy to be part of The Nest Art Festival 2016 in Bahrain.

If you’re not a victim of their strike and you’re flying with Lufthansa these days, you can find in their magazine this feature with some people posing in front of my wall in Vegas.
I had no idea by the way, thanks to Nahum at Mista’s clothing for letting me know.

Many thanks to Stan Studol @ ManaUrbanArtsProjects and my brother Luis Lucas for making it happen and the great photos.

Hello New York! Feels good to be back after 8 years…

I was recently invited by LinkedIn to paint a mural in their brand new offices in Madrid (Spain). The artwork is based in the saying “Coger el toro por los cuernos” (Grab the bull by the horns?)
That office is far from being an usual workspace, as you walk in you can find a punching bag, a futbolín (table football?), chill areas, games everywhere and even a fvckng wine room! I don’t know, I’d be the less productive employee if I’d work there.

Pretty nice job though, thanks guys.
