Ses Pedres i els Somnis is a journey from my deepest 
roots, my Menorcan roots, expressed by the Talayotic 
tables, symbols of island origins, to my dreams, my 
deepest emotions, expressed with dreamlike images 
in the form of wordless poems. All in all, a series of 
experiences that have inevitably sprung from the 
conscious and the subconscious. 
This work of art is included in my work Lighting From 
The Darkness. 
It is the result of a journey into the heart of darkness, 
a journey of introspection. I started working on this 
project in 2012, when my wife, Montse, died. 
Immersed in the darkness I reached bottom, the darkest 
part of my heart. I felt like there was no way out. 
The memory of Montse made me look for a reason 
to move on. And when you find yourself immersed in 
darkness, there is nothing better than looking for light. 
I have been researching and working on light and 
shadows for years. 
So, with the camera and some flashlights, I began to 
illuminate my darkness, my shadows, my fears, my 
subconscious ... 
I applied the basic principle of light. For an object to be 
seen we need three things: a light source, an object to 
reflect it, and an observer to pick it up. 
This work is the result of more than forty years of 
researching and working with light and shadow. 
Technically, these photographs are taken from total 
darkness. The model is painted light. I use flashlights 
of different sizes and colors as brushes, I apply the 
light directly on the model. It is not a job done with any 
computer program. 
The works date from 2013 to 2022 and are the result 
of a lifetime.
