Blanes, 1996. Pintando con parte de mi crew en el muro del mercado municipal.
Extracto de Saturno: Lights & Shadows.
No empecé a pintar para que me entendieran. Lo hice porque lo necesitaba. Si quieres saber de dónde viene todo esto, te lo cuento aquí.

Talking art and creativity with Joseph. If they don’t see you, you don’t exist.
In my last blog post, I shared the full interview I had with Josef Ajram. If you missed it, you can check it out there. The conversation was in Spanish, but you can always turn on subtitles if you want to watch it.
Read MoreRecientemente tuve el honor de ser entrevistado por Josef Ajram en su podcast. Para quienes no lo conozcan, Josef es un inversor, atleta de resistencia y conferenciante con una mentalidad a prueba de fuego. Ha competido en pruebas extremas como el Ironman y el Ultraman, y ha aplicado su filosofía de esfuerzo y estrategia tanto en los mercados financieros como en la vida.
La charla fue un lujo. Hablamos de mi libro Saturno: Lights & Shadows, del futuro (y presente) del arte, de la importancia de mostrarse y construir una marca personal sin perder la esencia. En un mundo donde todo se mueve rápido, ser fiel a uno mismo es un desafío… y una ventaja.
Bajo la lluvia de un viernes, me dirigí a Sitges con un destino claro: Corner4art. Un lugar donde el arte, la ilustración y el coleccionismo cobran vida. Entre piezas icónicas, conocí a Sergio y Mafer Rincón, y ahora tengo en mis manos una joya firmada por el maestro Sanjulian. Te cuento la experiencia aquí.

Por las mañanas me gusta salir a caminar, sobre todo si tengo que ponerme a pintar; me aclara las ideas. Pero lo más destacado de salir a caminar es que me permite ordenar mi jornada. Pensar en medio de la naturaleza es un lujo para algunos que no pueden tener el privilegio de vivir prácticamente en la montaña. Yo la tengo a dos minutos.

Vivimos en un sistema podrido. Un sistema donde la calidad ha pasado a un segundo plano y la clave del "éxito" radica en ser omnipresente, en estar en todos lados, en ser lo suficientemente viral como para que una legión de borregos digitales asuma que, si te ven en todas partes, es porque eres bueno. Y no, no eres bueno. Eres una máquina de hacer contenido pre-masticado para un público sin criterio.

Cuando opinas, molestas. Cuando piensas diferente, incomodas. Pero callar no es una opción. Aquí te cuento por qué sigo diciendo lo que creo, aunque a algunos les arda.

Durante años, nos han contado una historia parcial, pero ¿qué pasaría si LA VERDAD fuera diferente? España, la conquista y la Leyenda Negra no son lo que te han hecho creer. No busco imponerte una idea, sino mostrarte HECHOS para que saques tus propias conclusiones.

Remember *Gremlins*? As long as they stayed dry, everything was fine. But spill a little water, and all hell broke loose.

Ghostface Killah holding my book – “Ghostface Killah with my book in his studio.”
I'm looking at the picture again. Ghostface Killah holding my book. Let me repeat: Ghostface Killah, a member of Wu-Tang Clan, holding MY book in his hands. If you had told me this in 1995, when I was painting my room with "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" playing in the background, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are.

Being an independent artist means more than just creating—it’s about making sure your work reaches the right people. Talent isn’t enough; you have to take action, explore opportunities, and step outside your comfort zone. In this post, I share my thoughts on the importance of movement, connection, and persistence, along with a personal experience of putting my work into the hands of those I admire.

I’m sitting here, scrolling through Instagram while Moonlight by Kali Uchis plays in the background. I was thinking about sharing my odyssey with the release of my book, the shipments, the setbacks, and everything that has come with it.

Why do we get upset when we don’t achieve what we want? Often, behind that frustration lies the weight of our expectations. This raises the question: are we truly working towards something that fulfills us, or are we just chasing a goal imposed from outside?
Read MoreI’m thrilled to announce the release of my new book, The Creative Threat: AI and the Future of Art, where I delve into a topic that many are curious about, yet few artists are truly engaging with: the role of Artificial Intelligence in the creative process.

In a quiet residential neighborhood typical of San Francisco, where Victorian-style wooden houses stand in muted tones, the streets are calm as night falls. One of these homes, simple yet full of character, gives off a warm glow from the attic. That soft light, pulsing like a heartbeat, casts a faint glow through the top window. Inside, a young artist is deep in his own world, surrounded by relics of his universe: posters of Critters and Gremlins, album covers from Iron Maiden, and stacks of cassette tapes from Ice T and Metallica. Shelves barely hold the weight of his comics and action figures, all adding to the vibrant chaos of his sanctuary.
Read MoreImagine we are in the era when photography is beginning to emerge. We are traditional artists—painters and poster designers—who spend hours creating detailed images for advertisements and movies. Suddenly, this new technology appears, allowing images to be captured in an instant. The initial reaction is skepticism and rejection. "Is this art?" we ask ourselves. "Can a machine replace the artist's eye and hand?"
