Contemporary Spanish painter and sculptor. "I create naked bodies to give my figures a certain timelessness..., with clothes they would be tied to concrete eras or subject to passing fashions. Just as pain brings us close to death, joy connects us to life, and I want to make my works as alive as possible." (Quote: PY, in: booklet accompanying the exhibition "The Minotaur in the Labyrinth of Love, Hebecker Gallery, Weimar 1999).
