The shadows are the reality for the persons in the cave because they have never seen anything else; they do not realize that what they see are shadows of objects in front of a light, much less that these objects are inspired by real things outside the cave which they do not see.

Most humans will live at the bottom of the cave, and a small few will be the major artists that project the shadows with the use of human made light.

Mixed media over photography (35x50cm), fixed on a 45x60cm wooden panel and framed on the edges with black wood, ready to hang. Shipped in a carboard box.

What directed towards his work is a game of contrasts and physicality between overlap and transparency, seeking to hide and reveal in equal measures. This stratification process aims to show the corporeality of the two-dimensional work, highlighting each error and new direction taken, in order to remind us of the painting process. What drives his research is the curiosity to find the beauty hidden in everyday life, in the supports and pictorial material, and bring it to the surface, so that the viewer questions and appreciates aspects for which he, normally, would not give importance. His research and production are strongly influenced by Tachismo and Arte Povera, by the reuse and recycling of materials, ideas and concepts. Often, when using his own older works, reconstructing and making new collages from them, he is recycling both the physical item and the concepts behind these works. Began his artistic research in the Atelier of Painting of the Museum Alfredo Andersen, under the direction of Ronald Yves Simon, also attended workshops in painting, printmaking and photography . Participates, since 1999, of Salons of Art and Exhibitions Collectives and Individuals, being awarded six times.
