What is your art workspace like?

My art workspace is also my home, so I try to keep it “clean”. Please, don’t ask my girlfriend about it...

What are the tools of your trade?

Cans, brushes, markers, razors... Every kind of boards, recycled stuff (I love x-ray paper, it's the best for streetart) skateboards, surfboards. Almost “diogenes painter”.

What's the most time you've spent on a project?

I spent months in many pieces.

Can you talk us through your creative process? How do you go about planning and creating a piece?

I cannot speak about a process, because the pieces are the result of thousand ideas flying around me. Some of this ideas become stronger than others, later they become into an obsession and I need to paint them.

What are the most common questions you get asked about your art?

What is this?? What does it mean?? Why are you doing this?? How much for painting my fence?? It is a digital print, isn't it??
Have you had any art-related disasters?

I'm lucky, I hadn't any cop-art-disaster. Finger cross.

Do you have a dream project you'd love to make, but just can't justify yet?

To paint an entire building.

What was your most recent project?

A showroom in Granada city.
What are your favourite experiences you've had as a result of your art?

To travel around Latin America for a year, with a project called painting 4 sleeping. We painted hostels or campings, and they slept there for free. From California to Peru by bus.

Do you have any projects in progress or in the pipeline right now?

Preparing a showroom and doing some works at the same time.
Do you sell your art? If so, how can people find it?
