Bio

I had to travel halfway around the world to understand that what I wanted to photograph was around my house. My work revolves around two main themes: identity and the passage of time, characterised by the desire to construct a poetic conceptual discourse where I sublimate the everyday to reveal realities beyond appearances, thus questioning the limits between reality and fiction. I am interested in both the taking of images and their reinterpretation through the editing process. I was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1974. I studied Humanities at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Cinema at the Escola de Cinema Independent de Barcelona (ECIB) and Photography at the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (IEFC) where I am a teacher now. I also give photobook creation workshops in my studio. I have written and directed various short films, have published a number of photobooks and a novel, and have exhibited my work in many occasions. My work has been awarded in a number of occasions, and is part of public and private collections as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the MNAC collection (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya), Banc de Sabadell Foundation, FotoColectania, and the Carmen & Lluís Bassat Foundation, among others. I’m co-founder and editor at Ediciones Posibles, an independent publishing house based in the same city. In 2001 I formed with Salva Rey the musical duo The Pinker Tones, active until 2020, with whom I published numerous albums, books and soundtracks, and toured the five continents playing live. From the ashes of The Pinker Tones came Navet, for whom I write the lyrics.
