In the influence of Surrealism, the photographer becomes a sculptor, on a line stretched between the real and the imaginary. By transforming objects, often utilitarian, playing with collage, juxtaposition, reflections, he then brings chaos in everyday life and seems to allow silent things to express their innermost desires.

Chema Madoz was inspired by the Catalan philosopher, poet and mystic Ramon Llull, who lived in the thirteenth century, conceptualized the “Ars Combinatoria” and who also is considered as the inventor of the computer.

Madoz’s works present a comprehensive panorama of the artist’s different stages, developments and changes throughout his career and which are exhibited in international photo exhibitions such as in the Netherlands Photographic Museum, Russia Hermitaj Museum, Spain National Art Museum and Germany Photographic Museum. Curated by Oliva Maria Rubi.
