Artist Statement

My artworks arise from a personal reflection of the human being, his nature, his vulnerability and his survival ability related to a universe with challenges, mysteries and what we believe to be certainties. My research about these issues is crosscutting along all my artworks in its different thematic series that I've been developing through time.

ART SERIES TO WHICH THE PAINTINGS BELONG:

The nature from within

The artworks of this art series arise from a personal reflection of the human being, his circumstances and his destiny from the point of view of the surrounding nature. There's a willingness to read the nature and animals processes as a parallelism of the inner circumstances of the human being.

Music, films & TV series

The artworks of this art series are inspired by other artists like musicians or film makers and TV series that made the difference in my inner feelings and thinking and therefore in my paintings.
