Artist Statement

A reason appears, for example, the drought we are suffering, and immediately afterwards I see images that I need to shape. I make sketches with markers, pencils, whatever I catch, I do and look for photos until I come up with the idea. Sometimes I am impulsive and I paint without preamble. Then I use drawing, loads of paint, drips, action painting, on canvas and boards, almost always with black, red, white and earth acrylics.

I like the expressive and visceral, figurative with dabbling in the abstract to express my opinion of the world I see. I want my portraits, human figures, animals, trees and landscapes to be a cry, mute, not mere decoration...

My preferences are many, there are so many beautiful sources that I drink from as many as I can!

Sometimes I look for inspiration and other times it comes without warning. I love the reward of hunting it, creating and communicating!
