First and foremost, I am inspired by the act of living. I found myself wanting to express my feelings from a very early age. Fortunately, the house I grew up in was next to a painting community studio. By the age of 9, I was already creating my first oil paintings. The name ALMAPOLAS came later, when I was 16, inspired by the lifespan of poppies, which last only a day, yet their stems continue to bloom again and again. Somehow, I was very intrigued by the passage of time and how it can make things more meaningful.

Currently, the ALMAPOLAS project is primarily focused on ceramic sculptures and tradicional Valencian tiles, inspired by the simplicity of what is real and human, and focusing on keeping old mediterranean traditions alive. My pieces aim to remind us that we are no more than another superorganism on Earth. I want to convey the beauty of experiencing life through our humanity.

ALMAPOLAS is continuously growing, much like everything that ages with time, and will always be influenced by love in every way.
