"His early images were made in London, where he lived and published in the magazines "Studio International" and "Amateur Photography" (1973). These are the years after Swinging London, but from the beginning, he was not interested in fashion. Your photos belong to another way of understanding the image.

Shortly before the transition back to Spain. It belongs to a generation of photographers, related to the magazine "New Lens" (which was also published in 1976), who come to become the new vanguard that is superimposed on previous trends, that of the classic standards imposed by Franco and the neoabstracción, which imposed the false currency of American influence during the opening.

Names like Kindel and Catalá Roca are the only pieces that they broke the rules.

Returning to the moment of transition, when it seems that a junction with the last authentic avant-garde is possible imposes a new fashion, "La Movida", the photographers of "La Movida".

Our photographer will be a new piece that breaks the norm. A photo of him about the funeral of Franco becomes an icon of that time and it published in "Fotografía y Sociedad en la España de Franco (Lopez Mondéjar, 1999)."

His solo work and poorly known emphasizes the material this exhibition presents. There are 20 black and white images, a selection of a portfolio of about 40 photos taken between 1999 and 2002, that "in extremis" the public has the opportunity to see after a year, an Official Centennial that has blinded us with banal images and opportunistic but, yes, with the code by fashion."
