EL SOLAR

She enjoys giving a voice to social issues with a touch of humor, aiming to either discomfort or comfort the viewer.

No queda tinte

His artistic career began in 2009 when he decided to move from Italy to Barcelona, where he left behind his design career to immerse himself in the city’s artistic life. The narratives in his works revolve around reflections on image constructs, convention, and their associated behaviors, using elements from pictorial tradition, popular imagery, and mass culture.
