1986 the beginning of a story

It was clear that studying was not my passion and at that time it was either you study or you work. They found me a workshop where they supported me by giving me 5,000 pesetas a week.

Being the sculptor's son and having ever worked on sculpture, I was lucky enough to sneak out of the workshop and move stones all day. That was a great incentive and I knew how to take advantage of the opportunity.

At that time, La Dama del Paraguas was restored and a copy was made that the Barcelona city council gave to Japan. I was lucky to be around and do a lot of sanding.

Curiosity, at least our Umbrella Lady is attached to the top of her fountain in the Zoo with four screws. The material from which it is made, Carrara marble.

They commissioned a block from which two sculptures could come out, but something went wrong when they broke it and only one block remained. There was no possibility of error to deliver the work on time.
