“In my artwork, I often capture my love for anything that has already lived and continues to make its circle. Creating daily is, for me, an internal need, greater than all others. My paintings are mainly oil on wood and canvas, which I work on with mixed techniques, almost always adding extrinsic materials. I identify with current streams of modern art, but always have the main goal of creating a completely personal style; so I join pieces from previous works, composing, completing and finishing the sections, adding new elements to my works, which always bear reference to the older ones.”
