Catalan artist known for his installations and sculptures. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Molins de Rei. Later he graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona and transferred to the School of Fine Arts in Paris.
The theme of his work revolves around man and his relationship with objects. He extracts the material he uses in his productions from existing furniture together with other objects he finds, which together create characteristic volumetric works where technological elements are normally also included. Pictorially he works a lot on acetate, his paintings and drawings have an intimate tone and invite reflection. He stands out above all for his installations and in terms of style he is reminiscent of Arte Povera.
The Suñol Soler Collection keeps more than twenty of his works in reserve. In addition, among his individual exhibitions, the intervention carried out at the Suñol Foundation stands out, as well as his participation in collective exhibitions of the same such as: ‘Continium’ (2014), ‘5è Aniversari. 27 works, 18 authors’ (2011-2012), ‘Sculpture/Object’ (2012) and ‘La Sala. Vilanova i la Geltrú: Signs and writings’ (2022).
