This volume is the fruit of the relationship between the artist and the photographer, Jean-Marie del Moral, whose access to Barcelo's world is the result of a 17-year friendship. It takes the form of an artistic journey, accompanying Barcelo on his ongoing travels throughout Europe and Africa, encompassing projects and periods spent in Majorca, Barcelona, Mali, Palermo, Lanzarote and Paris; an endless drive to move on and keep exploring that is reflected in his art. Both intimate and immediate, the photographs capture and echo the dynamism and spontaneity that are palpable in all of Barcelo's creations, from paintings and ceramics to architectural projects and extracts from his personal diaries and notebooks.
