We meet in 2010 in Madrid, where we were studying stage design in RESAD, Royal Academy of
Dramatic art . In 2014 we go to Krakow together to the ASP, Fine Arts Academy, during this
period, we decide to start making the projects together creating an atmosphere drawings on paper
and with mix media .
One year later we discover the oil painting and we start our painting from the unconscious playing
a dialog between us on a big canvas. we have our first period of expressionism abstract, like
Tachiste movement .
We come back to Madrid, and we meet Antonio Machón who becomes a mentor for us by
teaching us the valuable legacy of Spain in the 80s with painters like Antoní Tapies, Saura,
Campano, Gordillo, Sempere, Gerardo Aparicio … ; with these new inspirations, we started to create
paintings that no longer only the color play in the composition , if not we also incorporate the
abstract figures .
In 2018 we made our first exhibition at Antonio Machón, with the name of " INVENTANDO LA
PINTURA" from April to Jun.
