STATEMENT

I have dedicated most of my plastic work to experimentation with collage and analog photography, the product of an inner search and taking personal risks. I am interested in orienting the eye to the most unusual details of objects that are often unnoticed, as well as seeking exuberance in color, although it is often monochrome, as a language that allows us to taste it. What predominates in almost all my plastic work is that character of someone who is careful to say what is fair, to avoid detours, since I am a person of few words. Improvise, play, reflect, and seek an air of freedom. I always try to create an act of saying without words, of “thinking with the eyes”, mediated by a halo of curiosity and the desire to be amazed.
