are the coordinates of my studio in Bilbao and the Tomas March Gallery in Valencia.

The current work uses topographic satellite images of Valencia and its environs. The images are unfocussed and worked on computer and then used directly on the support with applications of painterly material.

In some cases they were used to map topographic grids with a 3-D computer program. Each image taken from the computer is further worked on the studio floor, through physical reactions like the force of gravity (an element simultaneous in the two spatial coordinates), different viscosities and material reactions.

Other images film in negative (with a camera located on the studio ceiling) the process of creation of an image also in negative. A view which, without the appearance of the artist, could be confused with satellite filming.

This form of working the image creates a personal topography from the physical location in the studio to the physical location of the beholder of the image in the gallery.

A body of work is put together where real coordinates act on a representative image of the coordinates of another place.

Finally, a real and a virtual territory are diffused to configure an expanded topography with the imaginary coordinates in the unconscious of the gaze.

Displacing myself on a support on the floor, there is no top or bottom, no left or right, the usual coordinates of images. Moving inside the computer screen with a 3D program, I have the impression that I am floating, as if I were immerse in an amniotic liquid. I can even stand on my head virtually and see upside down. When shifting from painting by computer to painting on the floor, what initially has   n ideal size without any scale, once printed and mounted on a support takes on a relationship or measure with myself.

I cannot turn my eyes inside out and see inwardly, but I can try to photograph the future and help to construct a space of the imaginable, as real as any other fraction of visible worlds.
