The successful outcome of the Art Biennale Athens was the start of my career in Barcelona with my first solo exhibition at the Civic Centre Convent of Sant Agustí. The subject of that exhibition was a critical look at stereotypes where I again spoke openly about queer issues and discrimination against minorities by highlighting what society considered ‘Monsters’: At the opening, from the moment the audience entered the exhibition they were branded with a barcode representing them as one of the masses that were going to be exposed to a circus of contrasts and performances, in a background of bright and sensual queer paintings.

It was my first experiment of mixing paintings with interactive performance elements with an audience, which achieved the result I desired. Following that I was interviewed on Catalunya Radio as an outstanding artist.
