RECYCLING GRAFFITI

Graffiti attracted me for its brightness, security in the line and the strength of colours, but mainly for the freedom you have in "painting for painting" without any necessity of justification (as the one you are reading), filling the streets of grey cities with life. In the urban murals we see the influence of the publicity, the illustration world... all the visual information that any person had in the image age reunderstanded without complexes. Nowadays, I follow the cycle.

What could be the result of mixing graffiti and my way of painting?

After some fail experiments with aerosol I realized I had to be closed progressively and I brought the urban art in my sphere: cardboards, plastic painting, paintbrushes, collages... and I slowly introduced aerosol in the party. The result... some paintings that have more of me than the urban mural world.

It has been very interesting to use the same colours we see on the urban walls (planet blue, purple, fluorites). They have widened my colour frame. I have also played using some photos that appear among the twisted words of the graffiti. The fact that I didn't get use in the aerosol has made the plastic causalities that give its personal style in this series.

Although graffiti is not only tals and have a wide imagery, the most of the paintings I have made are form and colour games with the word "llum" (light).

These paintings are the most similar to non-figurative painting I have never done. Curiously I have heard the most typical comments when people see this type of painting: "I don't understand it", "I can't read it".
Don't try to understand, don't try to read, just look at it.
