Description of the work:
This technique although it takes its fame in the Renaissance, it was already the Greeks through the painting of Zeuxis who played with this visual effect, the decision to choose the entrance to a winery is twofold, on the one hand the place where it was done is the back of the meeting place and celebration of the town, a point where to chat and enjoy a drink and a companion, which inspired me that double game with the fact of creating the illusion, on the other hand the wineries are culture and tradition in the province of Zamora, a heritage instilled from parents to children, in which tradition, craftsmanship and knowledge of the grape require a practice that borders on the alchemical and that is being neglected by the industrialization of the processes.

Born in Cantabria and raised in Madrid, I began my artistic career through graffiti as a child, around the age of 10. Always very drawn to painting, I became a regular visitor to the capital's museums and decided to join some of its artistic collectives, where I acquired some basic knowledge of drawing outside of letters.
Always self-taught and with no formal training, I eventually met Juan Antonio Diaz, a classical painter from the capital, who took me on as a disciple and decided to train me in the arts. It was at that moment that my mind began to absorb the knowledge of painting as a craft, and muralism emerged almost spontaneously, combining this knowledge with the constant work of graffiti on urban and large-format media.
