ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What should the artist do when the work is, of its own accord, taking its own course? He lets himself be carried away by the rhythm that the chosen color palette and technique allow and, in the process, an image began to emerge and took on a life of its own, dominating the scene like a dancing Dervish, as described in the verses of Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rumi, in a free translation: "Each atom spins bewildered, beggars circulate among the tables, dogs prowl a piece of meat, the lover turns around from your own heart. Embarrassed by so much beauty, I revolve around my shame." Mixed media on burned plywood reclaimed panel, signed in both sides, borders with black wood and ready to hang.

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.
