ONADES FLORALS // Outdoors intervention



This spring I have participated in a Outdoors flowers 
Festival in Calella, a beautiful small town in Costa 
Brava in Catalonia.
It was about to decorate the walking way around 
the Hotel Sant Roc and the courtyard terrace.
I made an ephemeral instalation with a base
of big plane flowers lined with severals colour
ful prints.
The intention was to acompany the visitors to
the terrace pèrgola decoration.
The instalation starts with a big waves painted
with sprai, as a graffitti in the both sides of 
the narrow street. The waves converted to 
flowers in a sort of tunnel, made with textil
colours strips, all the way is decorate with big
flowers till we arrive to the garden Hotel, 
where we found the pèrgola, and the trees with
more flowers.
I create a colourful and elegant ambientation for
costumers and visitors to this beautiful old 
and familiar Hotel, that has the best views of
Calella.
This time I had the nice pictures made by 
Ju Uroz, I want to thank for the colaboration.





















































BLACK AND WHITE // Window



Window shop project I made for the oldest shop in 
town, to be precise 200 years old shop, a warm and
friendly haberdashery. The pictures show the work
I made for the background.












LETTERS IN THE SKY // Roof Intervention

Lett































I had the job to create seven letters for a window shop. 
I made the skeleton with carton found on the Streets.The
idea was to make a big visible letters, with volum and 
body. I covered them with different sorts of fabric, as very
offten in my work, fabric give me the colour and texture to
express myselft in the way I like.
I went up to amazing roof in barcelona, high and close to
Montjuïc mountain. The contrast between small barcelona
and the Street carton letters is what makes me fly. Remember
me music notes suspending in the Sky blue Sky.



































































FRIED EGGS // street Intervention

Ous



While preparing some eggs for a window oppening, I realized
how good they looked just on the Street floor.
I was committed to do an outside Intervention for a new babies
shop. I made the eggs with white carton base and for the yolk
I used yellow felt fabric.
Ready to eat,,,, only missing some chips.

OWL ON THE TREE

Some weeks ago I had the job to produce some furniture
and a mural for a new babies shop in a small town near
Barcelona.
I was asked to do a mural of a tree. They gave me all the
freedom to create and produce as the way I wanted.
I made the tree with felt fabric and cotton rope.
Julio, the painter leaved me a perfect orange and green
wall, then I applied the rope over the wall making a contour
of the tree, clouds and the green garden.
The main protagonist a part of the tree is the big eyes Owl, He
is the smart and special one in the mural. All made with felt
a part of the eyes that I used a wooden curtain rings.








MISS SUNSHINE


sunshine

I created the personage of Miss Sunshine some time
ago, using fabric scraps I had found in an old fruit
box. After that I left it somewhere in my work place.
A couple of weeks ago I when up to my ateliers roof
and there came to me the idea of making pictures of her.
I used my everyday landscape to frame the sculpture.
What I really like here its the contrast between the
funny-curious-sympathic personage and the natural
scenery.

STRIPS // Drapart festival barcelona

My last street intervention STRIPS speaks about
the forgotten old objects and materials, about our
memory and how far we can remember the feeling,
the touch and the smell of somethings that never will
come back again.
I' ve been inside the old jerseys factory where I took
the fabric peaces, was so touching and amazing, some
fabric machines still left with the material still attached
to the machine, aswell I found so many sample books
and other amazing things. There was no artificial light,
only the light coming from the windows, a large round
spinning machine was in the middle of the huge and
beautifull grey room. I won't forget the sensation to be
there. Now its a forgotten place, but I could feel all the
fabric and material sorrounding me as if they were
completly alive.

MASSIAS SHOWROOM

dkdkdkdkd



I got the job to execute the autumm-winter showroom
for a fashion accessories shop. The showroom was set
up in a white walls gallery.
As usual in my works I didn't buy any material for making
the interior instead I used recicled cotton fabric from an
old clothes factory.
One part of the instalation was made with fabric strips of
diferents colours at the walls, and at the end of the room
I created a close round form, kind of haima made with
woollen scarfs, hats, gloves and green fluorescent light.








PATCHWORLD // exhibition



Wandergallery gave me the oportunity to work
for 2 weeks and a half in EOI (escola oficial de Idiomes),
and it was fantastic. I was going everyday in the morning
and leaving in the night, doing my art in the corridors,
meeting the students, talking to them and beeing inspired
from the way they behave.
All the materials I used for the installation were from and
old textil factory that had to close down. I arrived to the
school one morning with all the stuff, having only some ideas
in my head. That's the reason I really enjoyed doing this
work-in-progress.




One part of the installation it's made it with
cardboard textil samples, they are very old,
and most of the patterneted very funny,
have a look.






One of the bench covered with samples and
finished with tape.




...doing lines with the cardboard samples at the
corridors walls, clossing somehow the toilets and
the classroom doors, some of the students didn't
know what to do.... just first day.










In one wall it's this big fish made it with fabric
samples, they were used for the sweaters sellers,
they could show to the clients the material.




In the last room of the installation I inspired myself
with a kind of Haima, I wanted to give to the students
the oportunity to relax and enjoy the class breaks,
making them to feel good and positive, with a special
energy, created because of the falling threads, the
fabric samples and the fluorescent red-pink light.
My intention after this good-positive feeling it's to
make them thinking about this new place, that is
completly diferent that what they could expect.



The bench and the paper basket aswell covered
with fabric sample, I really love to see people
smilling and surprise.






The floor looks pretty warm and confortable,
ready to lie down.
