Before starting the residency, I had already worked with Julian Lorenzo for years and knew Javi Mendizabal.
\nThey became the first test for this project \u2014 my guinea pigs in a way.
\nThe experiment worked.
\nNot only did I get to know them better, both as artists and as people, but a real connection formed.<\/p>\n

Julian Lorenzo is recognized for his multidisciplinary practice. A painter, illustrator, skateboarder, and musician, his diverse worlds intertwine in his work: his paintings are both graphic and organic, simple yet complex, inviting multiple layers of interpretation.<\/p>\n

The female form serves as his primary inspiration, expressed through an enigmatic cubist approach.<\/p>\n

Javier Mendiz\u00e1bal is a well-known name in the skateboarding world and has been part of the industry for years. But after leaving Barcelona and moving to France, his life changed: from constantly being on tour to having time to paint and surf.<\/p>\n

Now, he spends most of his days either in his studio or in the water.<\/p>\n
