Quick stop in Dubai

‘Bang Bang Boogie’ Jersey City, NJ.

A tribute to hip hop culture and its origins, featuring the different elements of hip hop (Bboying, Mcing, Graffiti, Djing…) in an old school block party kind of a scene, including the fire hydrant pumping water and the iconic boombox.

Keeping it local, I took the color palette from New Jersey’s Sugarhill Gang verse in their famous ‘Rappers Delight’: “I’d like to say hello to the black to the white, the red and the brown (dark red in this case), the purple and yellow”. The rap lingo and abstractions from the song were also an inspiration to make all the characters interact merging into a sort of a trippy camouflage pattern.

That was fun, love this neighborhood. Many thanks to Brooke and Peso from the mural program (JCMAP), Fred Shandler and much love to my NY family Luis Lucas & Jennifer for their support and hospitality.

The wall is located in Monticello ave with Belmont, Jersey City.

Hanging out with my bro Luis Lucas (@iamluislucas) and his wife Jennifer in NYC. He’s a good friend, designer, but also a good street photographer, these are from some days ago. Good times in the Gran Manzana

A detailed look onto ‘Liquid Dreams’, one of newest studio works, using spray paint, tinted resins and wood. A continuation of my exploration with the translucency and it’s interaction with natural and artificial light.
On display at Art Miami 2018 through Nil Gallery Paris

New works on wood and tinted resins for Art Miami 2018, with Nil Gallery Paris.

I’ve been working on some new ceramic vases. It’s fascinating how everything changes once they come out of the oven, you can never know how the final outcome will be, that can be as amazing as frustrating sometimes.

Working on a new figure at the moment, fingers crossed :)

Slanted Magazine is out now, Dubai edition. I have a couple of artworks in the magazine buuuut I also have a full riso zine in the collector´s edition with a mix of artworks extracted from my sketchbook, murals, paintings, etc during my time there.

This nice rug was presented this past weekend during the London Design Fair by Junior Monarch, a premium rug company based in Poland who asked me for a collaboration.

The design and colors are taken from a large canvas that I painted back in 2012 at Tashkeel Studio in Dubai, when I was testing some crazy pattern compositions.

​The rugs are produced in a family run, Good Weave certified, mill. Which means no children are used in the production of the rugs. Waiting for mine to do a proper siesta test!

Acrylics on Canson paper. 50x60cm.

I spent months working on this!!
Not sure if it’s worth it or not but here it is finally.

‘Autoevaluación’, a mix of wood, tinted epoxy resin and acrylic paint. A technique that I’ve been developing in my latest wood piece and powered by my love for stained glass and my obsession for translucency.
