JULIO MARCHAMALO

ABOUT

[I'm a nobody, and I couldn't be more proud of it. This nobody was born in Madrid on World Book Day and Sant Jordi Day in 1994; perhaps that's why I love flowers and telling stories. To escape the boring real life, I became addicted to light, and that changed everything. This addiction has allowed me to discover the magic in the ordinary, eventually deciphering an irrational reality that's much more exciting. Since then, I've moved freely through chaos, accompanied by two inseparable friends: imagination and uncertainty.]
