At the highest level

Since last February 17, we have sold 93 original pieces through the Clandestine Auctions. And when I say originals, I mean 93 unique works of art, no prints or limited editions.

If we continue at this rate, the projection for the end of the year will place us at around 600 works Originals sold. It's a very high turnover volume.

Very, very tall.

The other day I started comparing it to the European art market and it would look like this...

EUROPEAN ARTIST RANKINGS
Sales forecast based on available data (Single project / 2025-2026):

  1. Marroiak (Projection) ~590 pieces (Watercolors, sketches, and mixed media)
  2. David Hockney: ~300 pieces (Drawings and sketches).
  3. Damien Hirst: ~270 pieces (Study work).
  4. Tracey Emin: ~210 pieces (Drawings and mixed media).
  5. Maseda: ~200 pieces (Contemporary Portrait).
  6. Yayoi Kusama (this one is not European): ~170 pieces (Unique work on paper).
  7. Anselm Kiefer: ~110 pieces (Mixed and paper).
  8. Miquel Barceló: ~100 pieces (Watercolors and ceramics).
  9. Secundino Hernández: ~80 pieces (Painting and drawing).

Thank you to everyone who bids and to those who are making this small workshop in Oliva achieve something so great.

See you at the Clandestine Auctions

How to prevent perfectionism from killing your creativity

There is a tool that I introduced some time ago in the workshop that is giving me very good results. Maybe it will help you too.

Because the thing is this:

Little stories from the last book


The book of la Safor is almost three years behind schedule. There are several reasons for this, although there are only two main ones:

False Shots IV


We already have another Fake Shot (the videos I am making weekly as an audiovisual exercise).


I warn you that it is not a big deal, although there is a detail in the video that I would like to reveal the origin of:

Not even for free

A friend recently told me that he would not be going to India not even for free. I didn't understand going to a country to suffer.

I love it.
The aesthetics, the chaos, the cows running loose in the street...

In 2006 I was over there doing some sketches like the one above and next January I will be back to do many more.
