I´ve always had a little interest in science , I find amazing the subject of studying diferent materials and phenomenas in order to explain things, barely speakig. But latetly I came across with a group of scientifics that had a different perspective about the subject, allowing new things to come in, breaking the barriers of acceptable and common science. Some of these names are Rupert Sheldrake, with his morphic resonance theory, Terrence Mkenna with many theories and Ralph Abraham.
Murals are very interesting to me by the scale, having a big impact on the observer. Its also easier to make it accesible for more people, normally they are situated on around urban areas, which is mainly where our daily lives develop. But murals have been on since a long time ago, even doe they had a rebirth with streetart. Starting with the egyptians , greek , the roman with the mosaics etc... By doing the archieves I realised about the many ways of how a mural can be done and the many possibilities they are still yet to discover.
The murals dont streectly need to be in a wall, they can be on cars , curtains , canvas, wich still are walls made of another material.
Murals done by Sam3, I like his work, playing with 2d images and a few colors he creates a powerfull image. Seen on internet.
Mural in ancient Egypt, done with naturalpigment.
Another type of mural called mosaic. Battle of Alejandro Magno, Pompeya.
This contemporay artist is called Ampaarito. I like how he introduces really simple generic use objects and gives them an ironic meaning. I discovered him trough instagram and read some of his little books.

Manolo Mesa is a Spanish artist , he works mainly on mural and canvas. I like how he brings everyday scenes and objects to big scale and public places. I admire his technique and luse of light.
This paintings where made by an Catolonian artist called Josep Maria Sert. My uncle showed me them in Barcelona, in the Banco de España building. He also did the ones at the Rockerfeller center in New York.
This artist is called Saeio. He made a big progress in the graffiti world, going more abstract and compositional, with a very niceuse of color and composition as well. He´s got a wide range of works, from flying kitesto painted truks and canvas. I discovered him in instragram.
Painting by Dali which can be considered a painted mural.
Oniric and Ironic are very related to me , as dreams always have ironic aspects. Its also a very inspiring theme that helps me to play with my imagination and ideas, distorsioning the way I see reality. Some of the examples I admire are people like Renne Magritte , who plays with words , translating them into painting .

This Artist is SAM 3, i admire how he works with emviromental, political and culture problems, making resounding images with simple shapes and forms, giving a clear message, using the enviroment that sourrunds him.
This Artist is called Ampaarito, he normally works in big scale, using objects from daily life which are really simple, but this simple objects are the representation after a long reflexion in how to represent a problem or idea.
I don´t have a massive idea after plants but it´s more their shape and form wich interests me. The way in which they grow, suffering a big transformation and going trough many stages in a day. In my case is always an intersting element toplay with in my drawing or ideas.

Shadows are fascinating to me, I like the idea of a clone following you constantly in all types of surfaces, not only at daytime but as well with the moon light and the street light, which are all around. We will never get rid of them. Neither of light wich creates the shadow and gives bodies light , beeing able to create reflects, this ones can be also created with mirros, water... . It´s one of the firsts ways of being conscious of your self. Maybe because of this we where able to develop our consciusness thousands of year ago. Most of this images are my own
If always been interested in architecture, from all of the times, but latly the Soviet Union buildings have kept my attention. Its because of their very peculiar forms and shapes,looking sometimes ridiculous or oversize, which I it might be the case.
I´ve also looked at some old and strange constructions in rock in Africa and M.iddle East
Church on the rock, Lalibela, Ethiopia.

Moebius. he isin my opinion one of the greatest drawers of our era. The way he draws, aplying a marvelous imagination and technique.I can stear at his drawings for ages without getting boared.
Joan Miro. I like how he found his style in his evolutions, the way he applies imagionation into his paintings is amazing, combining it with a very good use of color.
Max Ernst. MOMA
Jean Michael Basquiat. Untitled
Jeronimus el Bosch. since i was a kid i found him amazing. He´s got a great mind to create worlds where lots of actions take place, but its even more amazing that all of them have a religeous meaning.
The triumph of the dead, Pieter Bruegel
Little Nemo in sumberland, Winsor Mcay, 1932. This is one of my favourite comics, the way the story is told and the fastasy it uses is the best world to live in.
Sculpture has always been an interest for me even tough I don’t work on it. It inspires me how sculptres are displayed in space and the shapes they create, making shadows and changes around them. The contrast between them and the eviroment is impressive as well, making things look bigger or smaller in rtion with them.

I like the idea of repetition with diferent variatons. This patterns are always present from the smallest molecule to our big Galaxy, fractals. But visually they seam to appear in a different way in terms og gestures, postures...

Photographs are very imporatant to me in oder to get ideas abou images, i like to look at them and imagine what I coulddo with it, what aspects i could change... I´ve been recopilating old photos with different compositions and ideas of different times and places around the world. Most of them are from Instagram or books.
This image is one of my favourites, its just likea painting which is a strange thing to acquire in a photo. Reminds me of La Fragua de Vulcano a painting by Velazquez.
