Due to the effect of light, the form appears before our eyes. The landscape,is a consummate strategy between the human eye and solar expansion. Nature has its own existence apart from ours, but human beings create a second world from light. 
Now, there is a metaphor for enlightenment that refers to another dimension: the inner universe. These are aesthetic and spiritual revelations. Thus these “Illuminations” are born in their attempt to shed clarity on the wonderful intuited. The painted landscape is the vehicle and the translation into images of the intrinsic epiphany.

Illuminations

Behind the appearance of natural shapes is the living spirit of the world (Anima Mundi). That invisible, but intuited, soul manifests itself in multiple signs.
Through this series I explore the visuality of this ethereal dimension: The elements of Nature are recognizable on the surface of the canvas but, as the viewer will see, the representation patterns go beyond pure mimesis. It is about exploring and materializing that mystical world through atmospheres full of mystery, giving trees almost human emotions, concentrating or limiting color in an ascetic, monochromatic range, evoking silence.

Anima Mundi

These are antedeluvian landscapes, places not yet touched by the hand of man. These are ideal representations of Nature from that mythical era where the harmonious forms of the fronds dialogued with the elements of the air without any interference. The pictorial solutions and effects obey an inner vision. Here the exact copy of reality has been avoided, rather the visible has been an inspiration to create subjective, real-unreal worlds.

Naturalist landscapes

Transfigurations is a series of paintings where the atmospheres are a prime substance of landscapes. Here reality acquire the appearence of gold. Natural enviroments lend artists scenes in which their ideals acquire a symbolic quality, their visions are conedensed into metaphors, their concerns are transformed into a sort of ghosts that prowl around in hiddeen spots in the compositions.
