I believe that my work, in spite of having a very constant and distinctive personality, shows very marked differences between varied chapters of my life. In a way, art has enabled me to create a narrative to a life experience that has gone through moving more than 45 times, and allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures and ideologies, in the span of three continents.
Over the years, I have worked with various mediums and techniques, and have settled for oil paint as my medium of choice. I still make use of acrylics when I need to achieve some sort of metallic sheen, but oils have a certain versatility that I find extraordinary, and that quality is shown in my latest series, in which I use them to create colorful stains over wood. I like to leave wood’s natural undulating texture exposed, as I feel it represents a very physical, natural, and terrestrial part of existence, which intertwines and contrasts harmoniously with the metaphysical and spiritual nature of my work.
Personal - that would be the best way of summing up my work. The experience, from the instance that a concept is conceived to the moment that I culminate a piece, is characterized by spontaneity. I am driven by a necessity to give visual form to concepts, experiences, and/or situations, often externalizing my feelings concerning such through this process; my imagination, my instinct, and my emotions, all come into play in all of this. Above all, and I believe this is manifest throughout my body of work, I am specially motivated by all those things I can intuit but cannot see: things that we find are common and self-evident, but simultaneously seem surprising and paradoxical, such as time, death, that which is beyond the limits of our sky, and existence itself.
