Statement
Fragmentation of light and color, are pieces that emerge from the surface, but that move towards space with small reliefs, edges, metallic supports and reflective elements, in such a way that the works not only have a frontality, but also a relief that is modified according to the location of the viewer. This dynamic of vision gives the viewer the possibility that his point of view is the one that builds the image as it moves.
Additional information
