Las tres ladies Painting

I find myself somewhere between pop art and realism, and my art looks at society with a touch of irony. The symbols we identify with, the characters we build in our heads and the objects that come from the consumerist culture are all sources for my inspiration. The contrasts that are the integral parts of my paintings are first and foremost a metaphor for my observations that I dress up under a candy-colored palette. I believe that the difference between beauty and ugliness is only a matter of judgment, and my intention is to incite the viewer to think. At the end of the day, all I want to do is to make you smile.
