Here's a first Work in progress post to show you a first glance at this exciting collaboration.
Let us know your thoughts about it in the comments!

It's also a way for us to strengthen the creative collaboration of @territoribesos between @zeit.bcn and @clandestinapoblenou .

"Petrolvisions" 116×90cm - 2026 There's a burning

"Petrolvisions"
116×90cm - 2026
There's a burning desire inside my chest. A few phone calls that can unlock the mechanic forces to crash any resistance. Just like a magic tornado, the water is gone. The black liquid, precious rocks, we feel them, so close beneath the surface. We just need to scratch the surface and suck it like a fresh milkshake.
Numbers are clear: striking benefits and big money.
Can't get myself to think for a minute. If I don't take everything now, someone will!

Hi everyone. We’re closing this collaboration week

Hi everyone. We’re closing this collaboration week with BowSeat today, and it was a real pleasure for me. Thanks everyone for your comments and opinions. I hope you liked this creative exploration and that you liked to dive into my eco-surrealism world.

As the last topic to explore today, this one I feel is one of the most important in the artistic journey:

"Perseverance": finding creative hope to face the climate crisis.

When I started as a young creative, I often felt a bit lost. I was excited to create and proud that I was creating something out of my hand. By practicing , I discoveres that some very valuable skills in life take time, sometimes years or decades, to appear and show bigger results. So it is often easier to get discouraged and feel we are not enough.

It is resonating even stronger nowadays with the climate crisis and the rise of artificial intelligence. What impact do we have as an individual? Is art useful in this massive mission to adapt? How can I compete with a computer that generates images in 2 seconds?

Well, the truth is that in the short term, there’s no solution; it seems like an impossible battle.
But it’s a lie to think that art can be instantly good. It’s a process, and it is deeply linked with your emotions. Creative people have this special talent, transforming emotions into a creation to share with others. It’s a gift to humanity, right? Machines are trying to imitate this gift, but truth is that it’s an empty copy of something scrapped on the web. Perseverance is also the key to fighting the climate crisis. There is no easy fix, no shortcut.

Using art as a tool to inspire people and contribute to environmental protection is a process. It has meaning. A bigger purpose. This meaning is what can give you hope, hope that you’re not staying passive, and you raise your creative voice. When I see the creations of BowSeat, the young creative community, it gives me hope. I feel connected to other humans who are acting peacefully and who are inspiring the world in such a special way.

One last question:
What are the hopes inside of you that you’d like to share out there with the world through your art?

For the 4th day of this BowSeat collaboration take

For the 4th day of this BowSeat collaboration takeover, I wanted to speak about an important topic for me:

My question to you?

Should artists show elements that could be perceived as "negative" through their art? I’m really interested in having your feedback on this one.

When I watch artists through history, it’s clear that the artist has always played a crucial role in sharing both beautiful creations as well as much more controversial or heavy messages about our societies. With the modern age and the social media era, everything tends to get hidden or softened in order to please the eye of the consumer. Very few are showing low moments on social media, as we don’t want to be judged or perceived as failures. The fact is that no matter how successful or perfect people seem to be on the "social media vitrine", we all have problems, doubts, fears, and failures in our lives.

The art market doesn’t really help artists to share more profound works, not aligned with the decorative tendencies of the art world. Art should be created to sell? I would recommend all creatives not be fooled by these trends.

A balance should be found to sustain your career and stay authentic to your vision. Creating with honesty and with your emotions is your best chance to have the chance to connect strongly to the public. It’s not the easy path, but in the long term, it's really worth it. Look at the masterpieces in the museums of the world. We see all sorts of works, some of them would be perfect for your wall; some others were not made to please the eye but to transmit, educate, and denounce.

So today, I asked you this question, but I’ve got a strong conviction that artists & creatives should have the freedom to speak about all aspects of life, the duality of it (if they feel they want to do it). It is more powerful than we think it is and a great way to transmit values, creating visual statements of our times, viewed through the creative scope of your imagination.

Today, let’s explore together the path I follow to

Today, let’s explore together the path I follow to create art about the environment. I’m using this colorful visual universe that I call "Eco-Surrealism." I mix surrealism with environmental preservation. Connecting dreamscapes and symbolism.

Why make this specific choice? Well, I’ve been following BowSeat's young creatives, and I’m always amazed by how you guys use imagination to transmit messages. When I watch your paintings, I feel I don’t have much to teach on the topic because I often find in your artistic creations shared on their account, a lot of creativity and powerful images.

To those who didn't tried yet to use dreams or imagination in their artistic attempts, I’m inviting you to try; it’s both fun and challenging, and the result can be very poetic.

I’m a strong believer in the power of human imagination. If we look in history, we see that humans have imagined all sorts of things to adapt, control, and experiment with. Things that were absolutely impossible 100 years ago are now accessible. That’s why I’m using surrealism in my art.

I feel humans need to pass over the barriers of our reality, the dawning signs of our unbalanced relationship with nature, in order to reinvent possible futures. Using your imagination is helping your brain to explore and not staying stuck in a "scenario." It is one of the most powerful talents creatives have to inspire people and protect their mental health.

My question to you: Do you think dreams can change life paths and make an impact in society?
