“When I produce my work, I search for the gesture describing an experimental process without defined creative parameters.
My inspiration comes from everything that I see in nature. I enjoy the contrasts between the shades of a range of cool colors without limiting myself in the experimentation of color.
I do not seek to create thematic works. I pursue only what I feel, and this goes from social criticism to self-portrait. I allow the experience of the moment to emerge spontaneously. This is my creative process.
Sometimes the sketch remains in my notebook, and other times it becomes a definite and elaborate work of art. My longing to share my universe leads me to multi creation where I work several pieces in unison.
Identity is a mixture between ethnicity — from the relationship of space with the quest for the self –. It is the projection of social criticisms that currently affect my country. The identity that a few assume.”
