Then he settled down in New York City, where he worked as an assistant in Julian Schnabel’s studio. He has exhibited many times in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, New York, Brussels and Paris. Nowadays, he lives and works in Igualada. Works There are some recurrent issues in his paintings concerning the relationship between architecture and landscape. He paints large empty scenarios formed by architectural and vegetal elements, being specially interested in the simplification and essential representation of things. They are big canvas with unanimated and mysterious choreographies coming from a reality sieved by geometrics and metaphysics. He plays with a symbolical alphabet of elements: great typographies, the cypress, manufacturing warehouses, deposits, ponds, ramps, baroque gardens. They are timeless, close to surrealism and, with an ironic treatment of landscape coming from romantic tradition.
