The Spanish painter, living, medical graduate, is the culmination of a magical surrealism that seen in the archetypes, Jung understood, so the momentum of inspiration as his own master ontological, aesthetic and alchemy.

The models of Valls in fact, come directly from the world of dreams and the unconscious: "Sometimes the initial idea originated from a dream, but it is not the norm. (...) The figures should be charged to their unconscious content, which would be very difficult if you work from real models " [1] .

This is the first piece of the maze availed, the models are not real. The inspiration, a priori, the will-need creative comes from the dream, that one dimension "more real" as would Florenskij. In this sense, the Spanish painter's art is not mere "imitation" of reality but rather dive into it, in its darkest depths, the depths of the unconscious in fact. In this sense, as well as artistic experience, experience is alchemical, that is spiritual, as it comes into play in a comparison between self conscious and unconscious, between waking reality and the dream of the painter painting, discovers mirror of his ego.

His works are deeply laden with religious symbolism and esoteric, mainly alchemic-Jung: "I think the most obvious influence is that of Jung and the study of the dynamics of projection mystique that bind us to our unconscious" [2] . And again: "My art is a practical application of the process of active imagination developed by Jung and von Franz ' [3] . (Eloquent in this regard to the symbols on the magician's table showing the nudity, that is the purity of the priestess or the magic in itself, behind which, and only after that, brains have turned the static, archival of ornaments, as if to say : rationality exists but can not participate in actual existence, that which resides in the experiment, in the magical transmutation of the self, totally incomprehensible to the calculating reason - the one that ordered the Underground Man Dostoevsky, for example).

The (psycho) analysis of his works should therefore be addressed as the deep hermeneutics, reception-projection of symbols and archetypes, such as splinters that stick to the real but unknown aspects of existence, meaning they function as a reference - but also as principle - the artistic and alchemical transmutation of reality into surreality. The symbolism of Valls is in fact so live as not simply call an "awakening from the dream", but rather start it.

Faced with the work of Valls you feel the sensation of participation, it comes in contact with their world, it is sinking in its entirety. The moment in which we observe, they begin to look at us.

Further explains the painter: "I consider art as a mystical process, similar to that during the history of mankind have been developed through the alchemy, the cabala, the symbolism of medieval, magic, mysticism and Eastern religion or any pagan ritual, through every kind of physical process and materials that humans have developed to project their own unconscious contents and irrational, their fears, their archetypes, their own questions.
I think my painting, as all these practices, transform the inner life, so that the craftsman, who I am, so that the viewer in my paintings that projects his own unconscious like a Rorschach test, as if they were a mirror of our limbic system ' [4] .

The painter has clarified the basic concept: the aesthetic experience of artistic enjoyment (source of his paintings) takes the value of a real transmutation inner alchemy is between the painter and the viewer the one in front of 'but between both of them fornt to themselves. It 'an internal process in which even the exterior becomes interior.

What holds the ranks of all this architectural alchemy, is his art, his power. And 'art that combines the interior to the exterior, the visible and invisible, dream on waking, the unconscious to the conscious: "I paint the figures are embodiments of my subconscious projection of my soul. As one analyst of the stand. Psychoanalysis are exposed wall, mirrors the collective unconscious. Science and religion seek to explain the eternal question of the meaning of the profound dichotomy between the material and the spiritual. Art must merge this duality, his land is the space between each other. "

The echoes of Surrealism Breton in Manifesrti or "I believe the future solution of these two states, so contradictory are the dream and reality, in a kind of absolute reality, of surreality, so to say." You can say all right ... In fact, there Valls told him in no uncertain terms, to print letters that go directly into our receptive capacity, and flooded puzzled by this "dichotomy".

As for the painted figures such as "incarnations of his unconscious," I am reminded of a passage Zolla which implements the same concept in poetry: "The characters are parts of a poet himself who achieved a certain freedom. All that is external to man, spiritual force and applies only if alludes to what is inside. " [5] The dwarves Cripples Jodorowsky, nuns, acrobats and all the characters of his films, are they not also inhabitants of the dark side of man, morally repressed and / or socially, which inevitably emerges in art? Just as the dream [6] , the art is a way out of the unconscious, an 'other' royal road '.

The artist is in this sense, the commander, the commander of a ship facing the oceans of the psyche, or calm rippled surface, the finite horizon but terribly dark and deep, under the "control" of our route.
