About the Artist:
A visual artist born in Spain (1990), he has resided in Todos Santos since 2019. His beginnings were in urban art, and he later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Traveling and using art as a means of livelihood distinguish him as a place-based artist, drawing inspiration from the places he visits and immersing himself in. Over the past six years, he has settled in Todos Santos, where the murals and exhibitions he has created have further connected him to the community. His work is intimately linked to the landscape and nature, as well as the culture and current development of Baja California Sur. While painting and muralism are his forte, he is open to experimenting with other techniques.
About the Art:
The work explores the role of water as a transformative force in a territory where its presence is simultaneously abundant and scarce. Using seawater to oxidize the metal transforms this element into an active agent. The artist attempts to control the gesture, the brushstroke, as if it were a painting. Time, oxidation, and the nature of the elements play their own part, and one simply adapts to the conditions of nature.
Far from symbolizing deterioration, oxidation is presented as a natural process of transformation. The metal—associated with industry, permanence, and humanity—becomes landscape under the action of the saline water, recalling the vulnerability of all matter to time and the elements.
From a Southern Baja Californian context, the work can also be interpreted as territorial memory: an imprint of the climate, the nearby sea, and the slow erosion that defines both the desert landscape and the experience of inhabiting it. Each piece functions as a physical record of the encounter between nature, time, and human gesture.
