About this artwork
I created this portrait of the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti with his signature stylistic flourishes: frayed, unraveled, stylized, profound. When I showed it to a great friend, an artist and art lover, he said, "You've captured his soul." That's what I intended, and that's my goal with every portrait, even forgoing resemblance if necessary, but still allowing the subject to emerge with all their strength and personality. For me, the pinnacles…
of portraiture are Diego Velazquez's Innocent X in painting and Auguste Rodin's Honoré de Balzac in sculpture. In both cases, especially the latter, the resemblance is conspicuous by its absence, yet the subject is there in all its strength, with all its charisma. That's my goal.
It is made of high-strength refractory terracotta on a metal and mahogany base and was exhibited in my solo exhibition at the Huelva Museum in 2019.

My work is the result of a disruptive, subversive and eclectic process, without any pretension of an identity style, but rather the fruit of an insatiable, instinctive and bawdy creative process.
With my sculptures I try to contribute from my smallness to unraveling the global web that holds humanity prisoner to cruelty and injustice, showing the reality that inspires me but not copied but modified, tortured or invented, dreamed, idealized or crushed, trying to move the viewer.
What I try to do with my works is to bear witness to the present, this uncompassionate, reactionary, sexist, cruel, destructive and unjust present.
