Alemany expresses his nonconformist character and spirit of vitality in all his works. For this artist there are no barriers between his personality and his art. He is a tireless traveller who turns every journey, every experience, into a new visual representation. Matter and its modulation are an important part of his creative work, descended from Informalismo, in which the line plays a major role. The experience garnered from his contact with European movements, including , his participation alongside the artist Rafael Muñoz Calduch (1943) in founding the , and his experiences of performance and live painting during the early eighties made Alemany a key player in the renewal of the art scene in Valencia during the transition to democracy after Franco’s dictatorship and the decade of the eighties.

The series Morocco is the result of his journey to the Sahara Desert in autumn 1988. In it the tactile qualities of sand are taken as the point of departure for his plastic experimentation. It does not reproduce specific images but seeks to show the force and the material substance one experiences in such a distinctive natural setting.

It is worth focusing on the process of creation, of vital importance for the artist, who claimed that: “the creative process is what makes it all worthwhile.” In this series he uses an asphalt emulsion ground, on which he adds sand, clay and pigments. By means of adding or subtracting material—an operation in which the artist often uses his bare hands—he creates a whole series of visual and material textures, letting the blackness of the asphalt emulsion break through in some areas. Similarly to the other work by Alemany in the BBVA collection, this process lends the piece great visual wealth.
