Question.-What does painting means for you?
Answer.-The painting is one way of expression, and it uses a common language. Like music, sports or garden works (like bonsai), it can comunicate with human beings, whatever language them use.
Wich painters have influenced your artwork?
My primary influences are the graffiti art and Picasso. I was born in the middles 70´s so when I start to take interest in painting, (maybe in 1989) Picasso was the greatest influence, almost in my country Spain, but when I start to paint I didn´t use oil but spraycans in my city walls.
So then you star to use your artistic name pseudonym "soze"?
Yes, then I start to tag(paint or writte the name of the graffiter) as "soze". Using a pseudonym gives me more freedom to my artistic creation, it helps me to protect my painting from external influence.
You still paint graffiti?
Not now, currently I only paint with oils, on canvas or cardboard, I think this is the natural evolution in my artistic expression. Maybe some day I will paint some walls, but not now, I´ve not painted any graffiti on walls in the last 10 or 15 years.
Why don´t you talk us about this graffiti above "SOZ" from 1992?
It is a piece painted with spraycan over wall, measures 5 by 2 meters. It was one of my first graffiti ever, but I practiced before taggin (to sign the name in the graffiter slang) and it was so important in my way or "modus" that I used to paint for the next two decades.
Why?
The exigence or demand to make quality pieces mades me suffer, me did not enjoy at last the painting, so it it makes me change my way of painting and then I start to change my painting in a more free way and more creative, more jamming, without skeetch.

Witch materials do you use to paint?
At this time I paint with oil, on canvas (for exemple in my self-portrait on this page) or on cardboard (like in the painting that you can see down "Lady of the ermine with soft drink).
Cardboard?
For me is easy to paint on cardboard because is very easy many times to get it and it gives me the possibility of paint a lot. Me not always have canvas every moments, and the cardboard dries faster.
