The silence of Dreams: Surreal Abstract Painting Painting

During my childhood, I spent much time alone, as my mother had to work to support us. In those moments of solitude, I would create farms full of small animals and fantasize for hours. This was the origin of my creative process, a game that I continue to enjoy to this day. Childhood is our homeland, and I return to it whenever I feel lost. There were many stages in my life when I turned my back on art, but it always resurfaced within me, uncontrollably, like a fresh spring to which I surrendered. A few years ago, I decided to make art the center of my life, and it was the best decision I ever made. I pursued academic training and was blessed to meet a beloved mentor, Armando Villegas (RIP), who believed in me, gave me confidence, and, in the last years of his life, encouraged me not to give up on this passion. I enjoy using professional-quality materials and experimenting with them; as a result, I have developed a personal technique in painting and drawing, creating a distinctive style that combines the abstract with the representational. I draw elements from my surroundings in South America and the theoretical principles of the "Constructive Universalism" movement, founded by the Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres García, to offer a fresh perspective on the natural and fantastical world. Animals are a central presence in my work, serving as a reminder of our intrinsic connection to them and as a call to attention regarding their mistreatment in the food industry. The fusion of abstract and representational elements in my work invites the viewer to explore multiple interpretations and immerse themselves in a fantastic world where colors, plays of transparency, textures, and animal and human figures coexist harmoniously.
