My thoughts when creating this work was how would the Arnolfini Couple nowadays in pop version, I admire the original work and wanted to do it my way, it was conceived as an ”idea" leaving aside any attempt to emulate any technique, a quick record as a reflection of a consumer society. 
There are various details between the original and this that were thought to detail, I wanted to compare the Arnolfini Couple to what would be the Ronaldini Couple nowadays, and used the super mediatic Mario Testino photo and some of the details of the work of Jan van Eyck as inspiration for the creation of this painting. 
This is not quite a direct critique to Ronaldo because i even like him, it's a satire and a statement of the years we live, i was not there as Jan van Eyck was, but to be there the real photo exists, and this is a painting… The Love failed!!!

Since very early drawing is part of me, never ceased to be, but lately i was more connected to advertising, this allowed me to have some contact with various materials such as LEDs, vinyl, digital printing, lighting, plexiglass, transparencies, PVC, construction materials, and others alternatives to traditional painting. I use all the experiences and contact i had with the most diverse materials to enrich my chances of expressing in many different ways the result that i intend, i try my work also reflects the new technological age, brightness and transparency of surfaces. I represent an imaginary or real universe, making use of words and images, i use images i see and photograph, or experiences, and i take them to translate into artistic language, can be beautiful or ugly without forgetting my identity and what we want my work to be reflected. In each work my desire and challenge i propose myself is always to overcome me and do always better, do not limit myself to one style, technique or theme, and each new work should be something completely different, the surprise of creating unconventional compositions, are own objectives. I want to achieve a balance between thought and technique, and also important is color, composition and detail, sometimes is also a children's emotional side and other times it’s more bizarre and meticulous. I can hardly separate life from my work and both are deeply connected, i take advantage of accidents and experiences or feelings when i create a piece, i always try to be perfect in what I do but the error happens and I will take it. I have dedicated myself first to an online art market, these online experiences have proven to be positive in the last 4 years since i started, now I dedicate all my time as a professional artist and my artwork has been sold to many collectors from all over the world. My objective is to express art and humanity, time and value changes.
