How do you like to work with textiles?
My technique could be said to integrate several techniques into a single output. I work the fabric from the yarn to the 3D volume. I spin, weave, model, structure and elevate a building in fabric. I identify as much with the process of a spinning wheel as I do with architecture.
What usually inspires you?
I am inspired by the movements of the earth and its geographical features: the dissolution, the multiplication, the geometric and the abstract, organic life, the amplification of the microscopic, and the light that bathes it all. I seek to express the complexity and depth of nature.

Is the idea of territory related to your work?
I work at a global level but I live in a rural area of the province of Alicante. My work is continually enriched by new ways of doing, the deepening of traditional and local techniques. I am currently researching the palm heart technique and its ecological, artisan and legislative situation.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I like the confrontation with the transformation of matter, the hours of inner silence while I create, the constant development, the challenges, the teamwork, the infinite source of inspiration from the past and the challenge of bringing it to the future.
