How did you create these sculptures? Were they made digitally or with more traditional materials?
The truth is that no sculpture was used. What we see is the sculptor’s body (Julián Cánovas) covered with mud from head to toe.
The sculptures show a man struggling with himself. Can you tell us the background story? What were you trying to convey?
Julián is a good friend who I deeply respect; he is a multidisciplinary and complete artist. He is, at the same time, a film director, sculptor, painter, photographer and writer. He suggested, a long time ago, the idea of doing a portrait of him that could describe his capacity of creating and his constant search to understand his body and spirit. All these made me think about his work and helped me to develop the idea of this work.
Therefore, with this photograph series I intend to show an artist fighting to get to know and shape himself and turn into a better human being.
