Fontbona

Info

I´m a plastic author, painter and sculptor who currently lives and works in Barcelona(BCN) and Andorra.Bachelor of fine arts from the university of Barcelona(UB).

My artistic references contains a range that goes from the German pictorial neoexpressionism 90s represented by Anselm Kieffer, Georg Baselitz or  Sigmar Polke, British artists  belonging to the called generation YBA as Cecily Browm, painters as Lucien Freud, sculptors such as Toni Cragg, Anish Kapoor, Jaume Plensa or another artists like Adriana Varejao, Michael Beutler between others.

 

My ideology was it a vocation to fix the gaze at those humble materials, usually marginalized by converting them into something with aesthetic value and  explore their expressive capacity incorporate them to the artistical fact. In this sense the paper, both in two-dimensional format works as three-dimensional also has acquired important relevance in my work as a header material.

 

My artistic work includes both isolated pieces as multimedia interventions and is structured in series   with regard to the work in two dimensions as to the three dimensional.
