Los Angeles, California (USA) 2018
These last two days I have been working on this wall in Los Angeles downtown. Lately I feel the need to paint with more vivid and cold colors than I used to. I guess it's a time for a change. I want to thank once again my good friends at PDP Gallery. Mat for taking care that everything goes well and Alexander for his hospitality.
Manresa (Catalunya), 2018
Murs Plàstics
Finally I was able to finish the wall that has resisted the most to be painted...
Many thanks to Marc for making it possible and for solving all the problems that were presented and Lahe, Aryz and Alba for these days in Manresa.
See you in another!
With Alba Trench
Werchter (Belgium), 2018
North West Walls
These days I have been painting in Belgium with Alba Trench. In a few days, the enclosure where the mural is located will be full of people partying. We thought it was fun to remind them what their first parties looked like. How with two balloons, four plastic plates and a paper crown they could get then the same feeling that is achieved in a festival with a logistics of this magnitude.
Thank you to all the people who have worked to make it possible and to Arne Quinze for trusting in my work.
Border Kansas/Colorado (USA), 2018

Mataró, Spain 2018
I can’t think about a better way to make the first mural of the year than with Manolo.
Badalona, Spain 2017
These days I had the opportunity to share this mural with my friend Ivan Floro, after six years without painting together. Thanks to Badiu Jove for making it possible.
Jacksonville, Florida (USA) 2017
These days I had the opportunity to paint in Florida. Thanks to all the people who made it possible.
Can Picafort, Mallorca (Spain)
2017
These days I had the opportunity to paint in one of the first houses built in Can Picafort (Mallorca) and recently named the town's heritage. Paquita the owner of the house and retired painter gave me the opportunity and the freedom to be able to rely on her family photographs to make the mural. The image I chose is that of their children 40 years ago in the exact place where the mural is painted but when the town only had 200 inhabitants and without the excess of tourism that it currently has.
Estarreja (Portugal)
2017
"The mural is based on a photograph of Dr. Egas Moniz accompanied by his assistant Deolinda in Lisbon’s Santa Marta Hospital during the 1930s. Born in Estarreja, Moniz was a dedicated psychiatrist and neurosurgeon that was also passionate about art, especially within the community. Even today, if you went to the door of his home it reads “the great schools of fine arts are the museums. I wanted one in every town and in every village for the people to rise in spiritual communion of the beauty.” The photo in Moniz’s archive impacted Mohamed L’Ghacham and became the source of his inspiration. The 1930’s was a pivotal era that later defined him- introducing lobotomies and angiographies which awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1949. The viewer feels as though they’re looking in on a moment shared between Moniz and his trusted affiliate."
