Our Artist of the Month for May and June 2023 takes this opportunity to present a selection of collages and assemblage works. More than a hundred hand-made collages grouped into series or artist books. The great universal themes mark these series of works: the ensaïmada (pastry), holidays, mosquitoes, parties, sex, football, difficult relationships, marriage, infidelity, electricity, golf, abuse, the housing bubble, fitness, swimwear, lies, monarchy, diets, illness, and death, among others. In short, it portrays a society seriously threatened, with bad omens for a stressed and spoiled people. Dreams are shattered, and plans twist in paradise.
