"From Pain to Love" My work is the result of an artistic process that leads me towards self-discovery and personal growth. Visually, it manifests as the creation of dreamlike worlds, inner landscapes, and enigmatic, inspiring compositions. These elements accompany me on a journey through intricate visuality. Expression and abstraction drive my visual language. I begin with the primal impulse, the primitive expression of charcoal, and then develop each piece with countless paint details. In my studio, I find a moment to reflect on life experiences while I immerse myself in my craft of painting. Creativity and intuition are my constant companions, keeping me in a latent state in front of the canvas and turning those memories into creative fuel. The energy and motivation I employ in this process are immense, as is the need for speed, fostering spontaneity and expression that come from my creative subconscious. Between music and silence, I undergo an active meditation through which I externalize the messages and memories that arise from within to make them conscious and imprint them on the canvas. From a formal perspective, I seek to distance myself from figuration, focusing on enhancing the richness of the materials and endowing them with the aesthetic and plastic value they inherently possess. I manage to capture these inspirations on the canvas by infusing my energy and passion for the visual into each stroke, admiring them as a vital record that has evolved from complex experiences towards hope. This process is an emotional and rational transaction that, as an artist, I have learned to handle and navigate from the realm of art. The images that emerge in my works gradually acquire a hidden meaning, constructing a living and palpable narrative that I transfer to the canvas. These scenes are microcosms but also powerful signals that guide observation and awaken the viewer's imagination. As I build a body of work with my canvases and brushes, painted with skill and the utmost respect for painting, I have ultimately succeeded in moving from Pain to Love.
