Statement
Obsessed with space; my work embodies my need to create atmospheres. Not recognizable ones, but rather spaces that reveal themselves to us in a peculiar way; more poetic than literal. I rely on abstract shapes to achieve this.
Proposing an abstract dialogue that goes beyond colors and elements, objects depart from geometric shapes and the suggested space is reinforced with the use of sharp lines, sometimes in very bright colors, to enhance overall visual depth.
The complexity of these atmospheres yields different visual planes to the observer. As a contemporary artist I aim to create atemporal pieces, that don’t belong to any specific tendency.
