Description

In his work we can perceive the influence of light--and its shadows--and the places where he has lived: from the clarity of his native Barcelona and the one that bathes the Canary Islands, where he spent a childhood marked by contact with nature. From the gloominess of Germany, the country where he was trained as an artist, to the golden luminosity of Italy, the place where he acquired maturity as a painter. It is in this contrast and tension that he walks, as if he had naturally merged the Tuscan Renaissance with the Bauhaus, connecting by means of invisible bridges with his Atlantic and Mediterranean roots. Everything Pepe Moll de Alba creates is elegant and sensual, but it is in his honesty and audacity that his modernity lies. Break Old Habits manages to make an autobiographical manifesto a universal theme that invites us to go deeper into ourselves, making a story that makes more sense than ever in the present moment.
