Statement
He is a visual artist dedicated to painting and engraving. His work consists of the materialization of a conceptual research in the two-dimensional plane. From the exploration of different thematic, psychological and scientific universes, the artist abstracts, appropriates and projects certain concepts in a geometric, optical and kinetic proposal.
His work moves from his own meanings to a careful composition of lines mathematically calculated and dynamized by color, which is finally realized in a rigorous painting on wood, capable of inducing new and vibrant visual configurations. Abstract forms, which sometimes even suggestively seek a return to an image, tension his paintings, constituting visual fields that stimulate the imagination.
