Creative Journey and Inspirations
Artistic Background
Could you tell us a bit about yourself, your artistic background, and your experiences?
I consider myself a digital artist, although I trained as a graphic designer. During my first years as a professional, I designed work of all kinds: corporate identity, advertising, graphics for videogames, UI/UX... This stage allowed me to acquire knowledge and processes that I still apply today.
In recent years, I have specialized in the techniques of digital collage, 3D and photo and video manipulation to create atmospheric pieces that present new realities or transform our own.
I explore themes such as space, consciousness, human experience, nature and how we relate to it.
I have worked with clients such as Interscope Records, Warner Music, Opera, IBM or New Scientist among others. Recently I have found in NFTs a way to monetize my more personal work, as well as to build new and valuable relationships with artists and creative professionals around the world.
Would you identify one or two moments that shaped your creative journey?
Discovering and cultivating my unique style has consistently been a consuming obsession of mine. Working as a graphic designer required me to adapt to different media and languages, trends and client tastes, which didn't help.
I think, deep down, I always wanted to be more of an artist than a designer, although the lines between the two disciplines are increasingly blurred.
In November 2016, involved in an important process of personal development, I decided to dedicate part of my time to create something sincere, spontaneous, and without goals or conditions.
Thus was born 'Materia', my first digital artwork. I enjoyed the process and, when I contemplated it, I felt that there was a lot of me in it. The creation of this piece was a turning point in my creative journey, discovering me my true passion.
In 2018 I received my first commission from a major client, attracted by the style I had been developing in recent years. This gave me confidence and made me realize I was on the right path.
Sources of Inspiration
Oftentimes, there is more than one story behind a frame. What drives your art?
Since I was very young, I have been obsessed with understanding the world's reality and my own. Now I understand that it will probably never happen. My art is a way to channel these concerns and share them with others. I am bad with words and find limitations in spoken language.
However, image and sound have a unique power for me to evoke the indescribable. With my art pieces, I aim to take the mind to a place that feels strange and beyond what makes sense in the real world. This can spark curiosity and open-mindedness when dealing with topics that don't fit with logical thinking.
How would you say emotions and personal experiences influence your creative process?
My works are born from my concerns, traumas, and fears, but also from experiences that bring me peace and moments of revelation. I feel that each of my pieces captures my state of mind and the ideas that occupied my thoughts at the time I created them.
In the beginning, I looked for answers in the vastness of the universe, and in almost all of my works you could see planets, comets and stars. Now I turn my gaze to our world and the interior of ourselves.
Nature has become my refuge, the place where I feel I should be. If you take a look at my most recent works, you will see that they all feature natural environments and elements, plants, animals... I don't think I have a particularly creative mind, so I rely on feeding those experiences for the images to come to my mind.
Art, Technology, and Emotion
The Inseparable Connection
How would you say the traditional bond between art and emotion is revitalized by incorporating technology into art?
I think the ability to convey emotion lies more with the artist than with a particular technique or tool. But technology is opening up new avenues for artistic exploration that I consider valuable.
There are now more ways to create art, allowing new dimensions to be added to the works and making the creative process more accessible to people who lack the skills for traditional techniques, as is my case.
Since I do not know how to draw, paint or sculpt, I am grateful to technology for giving me tools with which to develop my works, which otherwise would never have existed.
Creative Processes and Technology
Concretely, how far do you use technology in your art? Any specific tools or techniques?
My processes have become almost 100% digital, from the references I save on social networks, the photographs I take with my cell phone or the sketches I make with my graphic tablet.
In general, all my pieces share the technique and the software used: I compose the scenes in Photoshop from photographs and 3D renders, and then animate them in After Effects.
My technique is basically digital collage, but with a treatment closer to that of photographic manipulation, where I try to integrate all the elements correctly. I work with stock images and videos, but having incorporated 3D into my workflow allows me to create all those elements that I can't find in libraries or that I need to adapt in a totally customized way.
Timeline of Emotional Resonance
Creating Emotional Resonance
How does feedback from your viewers impact the emotional connection through your art?
Occasionally, people have written to me sharing how my pieces serve as a source of inspiration, bringing them peace or resonating with emotions and scenes they can relate to. Someone has told me that it was my work that discovered their passion for art. How crazy is that? Connecting deeply with another human being is the ultimate purpose of art, so this kind of feedback makes me go to bed happy at the end of the day.
Could you mention one or two specific artworks that illustrate this emotional resonance. Which are the prevalent emotions you would say your art conveys?
If you ask me, my collection 'The Observatory' encompasses many of my passions and concerns, and every time I return to it, I feel calm for having managed to capture them in that way.
On the other hand, it is interesting how people connect especially with 'Materia,' my first digital artwork. It's as if that initial creative impulse, born from the depths of my consciousness and lacking a rational discourse, has something universal that arouses the curiosity of many people.
Unlike the work of other artists, my work doesn't seek to discomfort, agitate, or create controversy. They are slow, calm, and contemplative pieces to turn to in order to feel at peace, in communion with the universe and with oneself. At least, that is my goal.
Closing Thoughts: The Future of Digital Art
Would you share your vision for the future of digital art at the intersection of art, technology, and emotion?
Although I have always liked to speculate about the future, we live in frenetic times in which it seems impossible to dare to forecast anything.
I think the emergence of certain innovations like NFTs or AI have put digital art on the map for many people, and that's a good thing.
People are beginning to understand that an animation on a screen can be an artistic work to connect with and have an elevated experience.
Whether we like it or not, our lives tend to become more and more digitized, so it stands to reason that art will find its place in virtual, not physical, realities and media.
I think we will see more and more screens in museums and, although VR still has challenges to overcome, we will see incredible artistic proposals through that medium.
At the same time, I am sure that traditional art will maintain its position and coexist with the new models.
However, I am concerned that the coming generations will lose the ability to take the time to remain in front of a work of art and reflect deeply on what they are seeing. This trend needs to be corrected urgently to prevent art from ceasing to be art and becoming mere decoration.
I think it is good to be a little afraid of what may come, to be ahead and prepared to face it.
