The sky and the sea meet, blurring the horizon line in the search for a new destination. Experimentation and taking advantage of mistakes is crucial in learning.

HACIA EL HORIZONTE

DESHOJAR LA MARGARITA

Facade of guitars and roses at the Paco de Lucia Auditorium for the @aytoalcalah . The mural is about the idea of the power of music to transmit emotions. It combines motifs related to nature as a metaphor for creative explosion, where leaves flow through and through the instruments represented. By placing natural forms as protagonists, the mural seeks to directly relate the building to nature.

TRACTOREANDO

Dedicated to all the moments we share with our grandfathers and grandmothers sitting in our little chair in the shade of a big wicker armchair. It has been a pleasure to do this work and I hope it is reflected in the result how much I enjoyed it. Thanks to Javi and Maricarmen for the wall, to Alberto as mediator and to Ana and Jose Antonio for the space to plant the platform. Also to all those neighbors who watched the process with detail and curiosity and who gave me the gift of their ears. To my uncles Goyo and Rita for their support. To my uncle Jaime for his help. To my grandmother for supervising the work (finally one that I think she liked). To Lucía for protecting me and for her protective hat. And to my parents for always being at the bottom of the cannon. To my mother as head of extreme security and to my father for giving me conversation at 8 meters high. This mural was possible thanks to all of you.

LA SILLITA Y EL SILLÓN

This mural flows temporarily through the mechanisms and gears used in the oil mills to press the olives and produce the oil.The idea was latent years ago when Herminio and Marisa, my neighbors from Alcalá de Henares, gave me a greenish cupcake made with oil from their town, Castañar de Ibor. Oil is the fundamental engine of the region and this is reflected in the pride of its inhabitants when they talk about it. The folds of the paper that wraps the muffins have certain similarities with the mechanisms necessary to turn the hopper through which the olives fall to the millstones.This is a mural based on the fortuitous unions and connections that sometimes take us where we have to go.

ENLACES Y ENGRANAJES

The mural depicts a critical view of the digitalization of the world and the disconnection with the natural environment. The mural depicts a landscape that fades into pixels, reflecting how the abusive use of screens can distort and distance us from reality. The goal is to raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural spaces and to question how technology transforms our perception of the world.

Collection of scenes and actions in the creation of traditional tools such as a sickle, a horseshoe and an axe. This mural vindicates the tradition of craftsmanship and manual labor that are gradually being lost in rural environments. Several scenes are shown in movement, emphasizing the constancy and physical performance involved.

When the end of the day is marked by the sun setting below the horizon. Honor all those who live under these working conditions. Strength! Located in a farmer's warehouse in the cañada real on the way to the Sevillanas.

SALUDO AL SOL CASTELLANO

Flourishing and prosperity of a region when it is immersed in good climatic conditions. Alluding to the great tradition of Caspe in the work and cultivation of the olive, and how fruitful this has been for the area in general. A hopper of an oil mill is represented upside down in reference to the rain that is perceived as a gift brought by the clouds, as if the olives themselves were dropped to nourish the earth. It was 2 days of non-stop work but it was enjoyable.
