Interstellar dust is framed in the stage of maturity of Jordi Pintó, when his cosmic-playful imaginary appears fully consolidated and becomes a common thread of his work. The work proposes a space fantasy scene built with a language of synthetic forms and archetypal characters, where the narrative is suggested rather than explained. The "journey" -a recurring theme in Pintó- becomes here a metaphor: displacement, discovery and play, articulated from an iconography of his own.

A Barcelona-based painter, Jordi Pintó held his first solo exhibition in 2000 at the Jordi Barnadas gallery in Barcelona. Since then he has held personal exhibitions throughout Catalonia, has participated in numerous national art fairs and also in those of Milan, Strasbourg and Geneva, and has won several awards in competitions in Catalonia, Madrid and other communities. He has also participated in group exhibitions held in Spain, Germany and the United States. He is currently represented in the Col-lecció Testimoni of La Caixa, the University of Barcelona, the Fundació Banc de Sabadell, the City Council of Cardona, the Fundació Vila Casas and the Bassat Museum in Mataró.
