Antonio Nevado: Antonio, alias Phoenix, is a multidisciplinary artist. He thinks nothing disappears or dies forever, neither the objects that are often thrown in the trash and we don’t pay attention on them. For Antonio, these pieces are an inspiration to do something completely different and beautiful than what they had originally been.

It is said that the human being are born with skills that are inserted into their DNA, or as Vedic culture say, skills are generated by past lives. In the case of Antonio, when he was a child he made his own toys with old junk he found. Today he performances spectacular sculptures and lamps.

Eduard Palaus Benet – Barcelona, 1969. Esculturas.
He started his career by restoring furniture. Thereafter, he started decorating shops with recycled elements, transforming things and he has always used recycling. He participated in the second edition of Drap Art Barcelona exhibition with recycled furniture, although he has subsequently participated in other editions of Drap Art with other works.
Since 8 years ago he did not start making sculptures with all those things that he was accumulating. He works with wood, iron and stone, with anything he founds, this is how every piece is born. He has been influenced by the Kachinas, the comic and the African art … The results are usually characters with a strong personality.

El Taller GRAMPUS is artistic recycling, they merge art and design.
They develop unique handmade pieces simmered, they use recycling, creative and playful transformation of recovered materials.

The name GRAMPUS is a private tribute to fantasy literature: the name of the whaling brig in embarking Arthur Gordon Pym in the story of EAPoe. Grampus is the beginning of an artistic adventure, open-ended.
