Fish portraits of a sea lover
He decided to paint
showing a whole
different perspective
of the sea, his all-time
inspiration source. He
started painting the
huge variety and color
explosion of sea wildlife,
portraying those
amazing fish. With his
paintings he tries to
make people aware of
the oceans and to protect
the beautiful life that
there’s down there.
Kiku Poch paintings, oil on canvas, have always been a reflection of his passion for the Mediterranean Sea and it’s light.
He is based in two studios, Barcelona and Menorca.
Balearic Islands, Costa Brava, the Italian Riviera and Tuscany, the French Provence and the Greek islands were his principal source of inspiration.
In 2012 he was invited to Hong Kong by the Spanish Consulate to present his work
with an individual expo and to show the city the beauty of
Spanish landscapes.
In 2016, after a long time painting landscapes, he needed to change to keep having motivation, he decided to continue painting themes related to the sea but this time giving to his work a more contemporary style, just painting details of his previous works. Bollards, anchors, ropes, portholes, locks and details of rusted boats gained leadership in his paintings. In this new style you can see a lot more texture and a wider color scale to show the influence of time and salt in metals and other objects. In the beginning of 2019, coming
back from a diving safari at the Andaman Sea (Thailand), he decided
again to change his paintings to find the most authentic style until the moment of his career. He has spent his entire life diving, when he was three, he was already snorkeling in his beloved island of Menorca. When he was 23, he got his first diving license (the first of many till get the PADI Instructor). With the thousands of pictures, he shoots diving around the world (Egypt, Jordan, Maldives, Cuba, Costa Rica, Zanzibar, Indonesia, Philippines,
Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand…) He decided to paint showing a whole different perspective of the sea, his all-time inspiration source. He started painting the huge variety and color explosion of sea wildlife, portraying those amazing fish. With his paintings he tries to make people aware of the oceans and to protect the beautiful life that there’s down there.
