"Single mother" is a digital painting on paper belonging the topic “in the office”.

This work is a question about the balance between work and family life. In the 21 st. century the European population has aged. One of the reasons is the difficulty of balancing family life with work  life. This can be observed so much in the necessity of the two main members of the family unit to work outside their house as in the change of the family structures (single parents families, divorces…).

"Proces ràpid: L'incompetent 001"

Fast process: The incompetent 001

"Fast process: The incompetent 001" is a video dealing with the topic “The process reduces the entropy – In the office”.

As a Demiurg the artistic process is based on creating something out of the chaos. The work process helps me to give some form to that chaos of ideas in our heads. Ordered, deliberately or not, step by step the indistinct appears inside of us giving sense to everything. In this moment a new life comes into being.

Artsurprise serie 002: Something happens in the office

Series 002 for Artsurprise

"Something happens in the office" are 100 drawings. I make them with paintbrushes and ball pen on paper.

In this series I show sketchs from the series "in the office"

Because of the economic crisis, the jobs are a luxury and a slavery form. It is also evident that the power doesn’t come from the government, It come from offices.
