Statement
Reality and detail, both concepts merge in my work to take us to the world of realism in art. Although my work is very diverse, I always try to impregnate it with a delicate chromaticity and at the same time naturalness.
Faces marked by misfortune but capable of escaping from the most cruel ailments, elements that move from the notion of figurative images to rambling in the most abstract and elusive, natural universes outlined in their most diverse states of perception, are some of the themes that make up the most authentic expressions that my works represent.
In portraits, I capture the essence and intrinsic emotions of the image portrayed. The attempt to find an inner truth in each of these faces makes thoroughness important to demonstrate true expressions in all areas.
