Ventana a Japón Painting

Artist Statement: Classifying my art is a complex task. I firmly believe that my work reflects what we learn, observe, and experience, as well as how these experiences shape us. My work is contemporary due to the time in which it develops and its deviation from the typical and classical standards of painting. I usually employ techniques of "alla prima" painting, although occasionally I also work with layers and glazes. In my figurative painting, I blend elements of realism and expressionism with abstraction. For me, art is a journey of continuous learning that knows no bounds. My painting constantly evolves, driven by curiosity, the desire to discover new techniques and effects, and the ambition to grow as an artist. Although each of my works arises from a process of meditation, analysis, preparation, technique, intuition, and execution, I always seek to convey a sense of spontaneity and freshness.
