“I would like to work this few weeks coming from my Barcelona environmental influences to a new specific location: Philadelphia, not “comparing” but feeling this “movement” from one Atlantic side to the other (Mediterranean), from one mainland to other, working in different atmosphere and conditions, trying to establish a dialog between two cultures, arriving may be to a kind of hybrid works, figures and animals, creating and presenting some new artworks.”
