All things have a beginning, these are the origins of the BUYaCALAPEZ items.

Building Blocks

The use of the computer in the development of studies in drawing or digital painting has been a regular practice of mine for several years. This digital file contains photographs, scans or simple drawings made directly on the screen through the different softwares available. The selected themes take common names like “skies”, “bodies”, “accidents”, mountains” or “architectures”. After working on these images some of them appear to be finished, I then decide to print them and continue to manipulate their surface with ink, pencil or oil sticks.

Taking a small unit as a starting point, in this case an architectonic fragment, a fragment of a window, a construction through successive collages and recompositions was simulated. Hence, a mechanical practice was established, envisioning an apparently goalless perpetual movement. The drawing, materialised in a fragile […]

Gun Powder

Gunpowder is what that special chinese tea is called, which appearance is of little spheres – just like gunpowder – that blossom on boiling water when a pot of tea is being prepared. In this tall porcelain tea container, designed to evoke the memory of the ancient chinese tea boxes, i’ve decided to drain an explosion of colours simulating or anticipating the expectation of that strong beverage.
