I was born in Valencia, Spain. I cursed fine arts in the “San Carlos University of fine arts in Valencia”, and when I finished, I studied a master in cinematography.I was already interested in movement and time, so since them I try to apply my vision about cinema in my drawings. I think that what you like apart from art is what makes you individual as an artist. The movement of the people I draw, reminds me in someway to my own time perception. The time is for me something like water. Water erodes, destroys the form while building new ones. Like the rain, time is cyclic, so in my drawings there is a double reading, one from left to right and the other from right to left. The characters seem dominated by water movement, while resurfacing. That’s my perception of time, different from yours and vice versa. So I use a paper called paper polyester, which allows me to perform these washes and erosion. I am now installed in a Studio in Valencia, and I have some exhibitions in my city and in Paris. Time will decide the rest…

Artist ROB TARBELL mounts paper to the ceiling and then burns  everyday objects like credit cards and photos to create his mesmerizing  smoke art. The paper captures his desired images, in this case, circus  horses, elephants and zebras, in a series he calls Smoke Rings.  The performing animals appear almost ghost-like, their wildness tamed.  Taken out of their natural habitat and trained to jump through hoops or  balance on platforms, they’re similar to the smoke that has been  controlled by the artist to create these stunning images.
“The performing animal images in the Smokes parallel the  drawing process,” Tarbell says on his website. “The trainer must  recognize and respect the innate nature of an animal when trying to  modify its behavior to achieve a desired outcome: e.g. training a bear  to dance or training a horse to walk upright. The same is true in  working with smoke. The inherent properties of smoke must be respected,  then permitted to - and yet discouraged from - acting naturally.”
