Original artwork description:

I made Underwater 5105 in my studio in Madrid over the course of five weeks. It’s built up with nine separate layers of pigmented epoxy resin, each one poured by hand and left to fully cure before adding the next. That part of the process takes time, and it's essential—it’s what creates the sense of depth and transparency you see in the final piece.

I worked with a palette of hot pink, magenta, burgundy, maroon, and light pink, with small touches of beige. The forms aren't drawn—they come from the natural movement of the resin as it spreads and settles. I guide it, but I don’t control everything. That’s part of how I work.

The surface is smooth and high-gloss, with a sculptural finish. The resin gives it weight and presence, and the colors shift slightly depending on the light and angle. It’s a square format—one meter by one meter—made on a solid poplar wood panel.

For me, this piece is part of the Underwater series, where I explore the idea of looking inward through layers—literal and emotional. But more than that, it’s just about working carefully, layer by layer, until it feels right.
