Reflexión sobre Arte y Trendic

ESP - (English version below ) -  Hace poco fui invitado a participar en un proyecto editorial llamado “Carnets de la chanson française” (by Jimmy Hublet) , donde realicé una pieza compuesta alejándome un poco de los personajes conocidos. Al día siguiente se me ocurrió improvisar con tinta junto a una modelo fotográfica. La idea era tomar únicamente los elementos esenciales de luz, forma y anatomía para hacer algo suelto y alejado del parecido con la foto. Al día siguiente, coincidiendo con la fecha en que se conmemoraba la partida de Freddie Mercury, hice una pieza, esta vez acercándome al parecido, y salió bastante decente. Los coloco en el mismo post porque, por otra parte, a veces me pregunto sobre la influencia del personaje en la obra en sí. Seguiré insistiendo en piezas que escapen del parecido con la foto para tomar la temperatura de la obra y su lenguaje propio. Saludos, y sigan dibujando y, sobre todo, reflexionando.

ORIGINAL ARTWORK - Caricature and Editorial Illustration

For me, an exhibition is not just a display—it’s a living dialogue. I believe in sharing the story behind each piece, connecting with the audience, and creating a space where art breathes and speaks.

For me, it’s not just about caricatures… There’s a story behind each piece. I have been invited to various events in France for several years now, and one question keeps coming up: "And your book, when is it coming out?" I’m working seriously on it and letting the project mature… I have even incorporated part of this work into my online courses, allowing participants to witness firsthand part of the creative process behind several of these pieces.
Those who follow my Instagram can also discover 30-second videos showing snippets of the process. I took on the challenge of exploring a subject often tackled in the field, like Rock… But what makes it exciting is approaching it with a personal perspective. After all, the process is just as important as the final artwork.
