What Never Was Painting

My relationship with painting has much to do with emotion; to paint something I need a motivation that originates from the object I want to represent. I focus mainly on projecting my interest in other disciplines such as drawing or photography. I am not concerned with copying the model, I interpret what I see and reinforce plastic values to achieve what I consider important, the ability to excite. My work explores contemporary urban environment, using a figuration that places special emphasis on the use of pictorial resources, light, composition and colour. I'm currently thinking about a surprisement of space through the introduction of foreign elements, sometimes through words or phrases that replace modules or advertising posters, sometimes playing with strange or paradoxical elements. It is something subtle that requires a closer gaze and introduces a point of ambiguity - it makes you wonder whether it was there originally. These are words or things that perhaps are out of context generating uncertainty.
