Art is the subjective and personal way I communicate without words, through colors, codes, shapes, and abstractions.
It is through simple shapes that serve to focus the subtext of the piece. I sometimes use "characters" as figures that add drama, color, and emotion to the workpiece.
The interaction between the viewer and the artpiece aims to expose different emotions in the audience.
I like that my work seeks to be appreciated from different levels of consciousness. Discover what is not evident in the everyday. Try to find the meaning of existence in the hidden and secret values of human, spiritual, and animal life. Play with strong elements and figures, powerful lines, and without fear of error.
When painting, I make immediate decisions with the existing and most appropriate materials for each moment, space, and from the acquired level of consciousness. I paint for myself, not for third parties. It is a unique and personal experience because each painting says a lot about the moment I execute it.
Look at the present with the vision of the future, not be afraid of the unknown or a blank canvas. Experiment without limits, even with the emotions of the audience who observes the work.
