q)Well, first of all please tell us a little about yourself.
a)I LIVE IN PARIS, AFTER HAVE BEEN LIVING IN HOLLAND, SPAIN AND USA; MY FATHER HAD TO LEAVE SPAIN AT THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR: AT SOME POINT, A MAN’S LIFE NEVER STARTS EXACTLY AT HIS BIRTH- IT ALWAYS PRECEEDS THAT-, NOR DOES IT END AT HIS DEATH- IT CAN FINISH BEFORE OR AFTER.
q) Had you always planned on being an artist [or had you other hopes]?
a)I WANTED TO BE GOALKEEPER, UNTILL, DURING A TOURNAMENT, WE LOST 9-0; I WAS ALREADY DRAWING ON ANY FLAT SURFACE I COULD FIND, SO IT WAS CLEAR, SINCE I DIDN’T LIKE SCHOOL AT ALL.
q) Do you have a preferred medium to work on? Why?
a)OIL PAINT AND INK ON PAPER; LATELY I DON’T DO ANY ETCHINGS ANYMORE, ALLTHOUGH I LIKE IT A LOT: BEAUTIFUL BLACKS
q) How would you describe your style?
a)I CAN NOT AND I DON’T THINK I PURSUE ANY
q) Do you go through any certain processes while trying to produce your work?
a)WITH OIL PAINT, I NORMALLY MAKE A VERY ROUGH SKETCH ON PAPER; WHILE PAINTING, QUITE A LOT OF CHANGES OCCUR, THINGS ARE LEFT OUT OR ADDED WHILE PAINTING. STARTING, THE IDEA OF THE PAINTING IS IMPORTANT, BUT ONCE THE WORKING PROCESS IS UNDER WAY, THINGS GET MUCH MORE FORMAL, WITH MOMENTS OF VERTIGO, BUT MOSTLY PROLETARIAN WORKING HOURS
q) What are you working on at present?
a)I JUST FINISHED A BIG PAINTING AND AM MAKING LITTLE DRAWINGS AS A PRELIMINARY FOR NEW STUFF, PAINTING OR DRAWING
q) What about recent sources of inspirations?
a)CAN BE ANYTHING, A PHOTOGRAPH OF A CHOREOGRAPHY, STUFF I SEE ON TV, THINGS READ IN BOOKS OR SEEN ON THE STREETS, ARTHISTORY
q) What are some of your obsessions?
a)RENDERING OF FLESH WITH PAINT OR INK, NOT HAVING ENOUGH TO EAT, THE INSANITY OF CLERGY AND POLITICIANS AND HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH IT
q) Which galleries have you shown at and which galleries would you like to show at?
a)I’M SHOWING AT DEBORAH ZAFMAN IN PARIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SHOW AT THE VATICAN, AFTER IT IS SOCIALIZED

contacted?
a)MAIL
q) Do you have any suggestions or advice for artists that are just starting out?
a)GIVE ORDER(PAINT) TO CHAOS(EYES)
