About the Artist

Xavi Millán

Xavi Millan's work is a project of dreams and ancient realities in the subconscious. His images are memories of stories of our ancestors or stories in illustrated books. Children's fables, science fiction stories, old photographs or paintings and illustrations from the 19th century were food for his imagination. His experience as a set designer in the audio-visual environment shaped the narratives of his photographs, which he manipulated to suggest moods. The original photographs remain intact in the background. He transforms the photos by superimposing layers and transparencies until a scenic and pictorial image is achieved.
