What summer 2019! I enjoy a lot working in Menorca in all those projects I left unfinished. The light in Menorca is just magical. The essence of those lands makes you levitate in a creative bubble, and it is when I enjoy carving marès stone.

I started making the third sculpture of a new series, composed of twelve pieces. Each one shows a woman posture representing one of the months. "March".

Then I started carving around this hidden treasure, and it happened to be a shark teeth fossil. Mako's teeth. A stunning piece of nature hidden for centuries in that bit of stone. I love it.

I finished "Marzo" and sold it straight to a French family visiting the island on holiday. I miss her.
